YEKATERINBURG, April 22 (RIA Novosti) - An international center to
combat cyber threats will be created in the near future under the
Collective Security Treaty Organization, a military alliance of former
Soviet states, CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha said Tuesday.
"Today, information activities are a weapon. The situation can be
destabilized without the use of the armed forces, almost entirely
through IT solutions, and in some places it could lead to a violent
regime change," Bordyuzha explained at the opening of the Eurasian
Youth Economic Forum in Yekaterinburg.
"On this basis, the CSTO is taking steps to provide better IT
security. I can say that as of today, information warfare and security
are becoming a priority for the CSTO," he added.
The meeting of the Eurasian Youth Economic Forum (EYEF) began Tuesday
at the Ural State University of Economics in Yekaterinburg. The
participants signed a memorandum on the establishment of the University
League of the CSTO, which is supposed to become a new platform for
consolidation of the CSTO's young intellectuals.
The first Youth Forum of the CSTO countries and the International
School of Journalists FSUE Rossiya Segodnya sessions are also held
as part of the EYEF for young professionals in the field of media,
with participants from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Transnistria.
