Level of cyber security in Armenia not at proper level

YEREVAN, June 24. /ARKA/. The level of cyber security in Armenia is not at proper level, representative of Kaspersky Lab in Georgia and Armenia Armen Karapetyan told ARKA.
"In Armenia, as well as throughout the world, cyber security problem is becoming increasingly acute. According to recent data of our laboratory, over the last year the number of malware attacks has grown five-fold for stealing money,' noted Karapetyan.

According to him, if earlier malware was  written for fun or for identity thefts, today the technology has improved and the main trend is stealing money.

He stressed that this problem has reached Armenia as well. "Perhaps, some processes here proceed much more slower, however, they do exist,’ said Karapetyan.

According to him, cyber security in Armenia is not at the proper level. "For example, in Western Europe and North America, where the technology is quite advanced, the number of infected computers is much smaller, and cyber security is at quite high level. Unfortunately, Armenia's position is not so good,' he added. -0-
