Global issues of cyber, and information and communication technology
security are in the focus of a two-day workshop that started today
in Yerevan with the support of the OSCE Office.
The participants will discuss the impact of social networks on the
process of political change, security and privacy issues in social
networks, threats to critical infrastructure, privacy and security
policies, as well as technological and legal aspects of forensics
analysis, such as network forensics, email and internet tracing,
wireless and handheld forensics. A special session on e-passports
will take place, as Armenia will introduce biometric passports from
1 June 2012.
"The importance of cyber security management continues to grow in the
light of the development of information technologies and the states'
increasing dependence on them," said Ambassador Andrey Sorokin, the
Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan. "Each country - and Armenia is not
an exception- needs to determine relevant state behavior in cyberspace,
invest in skills and education to build capacity of people working in
information security area, and ensure co-operation among the public,
private and academic sectors. With this event, we seek to contribute
to Armenia's efforts on this."
The event brought together representatives from the Armenian
State Tax Administration, Armenian Police Department of Visa and
Registration, the Vienna-based OSCE Secretariat's Department of
Addressing Transnational Threats, private institutions, civil society
organizations and academia.
Artashes Avoyan, the Chief of Staff of the Armenian National Security
Council, emphasized the importance of expanding educational contacts
with other universities: "Such discussions and exchange of experience
will contribute to improving information security in Armenia's state
and private institutions, as well as, strengthening the fight against
cyber crime".
Organized by the Armenia's European Regional Educational Academy and
the University at Albany of the State University of New York with
the support of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, the event aims to expand
co-operation between various national bodies and international actors
dealing with cyber and ICT security and cyber crime.
The OSCE Office in Yerevan plans to support a three-week course
on information security for the Academy's students and government
officials in August 2012.
