level
The sensitivity of information security issues in Armenia is so crucial
and urgent, that should be tackled on military, not political level,
Executive Director of the Union of IT Enterprises Karen Vardanyan
told NEWS.am-Innovation.
"In particular, defense ministry should create cyber-troop units
involving the best experts of the country," Vardanyan said, adding
that he holds the information such units are already created in
developed countries.
"Internet and digital technologies are currently on the fast track
and in this regard national security issues are not accounted for.
Presently Armenia is in &’cyber-confrontation’ as Azeri and Turkish
hackers break our websites, but luckily are unable to considerably
harm us so far. Meanwhile, as a result of one-two day hackers’
attacks Armenia might suffer heavy financial losses like those at
the Karabakhi war if our defense is slack," Vardanyan concluded.
