Expert: Armenian Defense Ministry already takes steps aimed at founding cyber army
ArmInfo.Armenia's Defense Ministry is taking certain steps aimed at forming cyber army, IT Security Specialist Samvel Martirosyan stated at the press conference in Yerevan.
He noted that there are already preconditions for that. Particularly, according to him a certain number of conscripts already work to that end. In this context Martirosyan considered important to establish such an official structure, as in the USA and a number of European countries the importance of cyber security has been put to the same level with defense of land, water and air territories. "Special anti-hacker departments operate in those countries. Georgia and Azerbaijan also have such teams of anti hackers", the expert noted.
Martirosyan also noted that there are enthusiasts among Armenians, who combine their efforts and attempt to confront various types of attacks. "We should definitely raise it to an official level, after all the matter concerns confidential information of state structures and personal data of our citizens. Of course, time is needed to organize all this", he stressed adding that the culture of informational security is still very low among Armenians.
