The chairman of the Union of Companies of Advanced Technologies (UCAT, formerly the Union of IT Companies - UITC - Ed.) Alexander Yesayan announced on June 28 at a press conference.
"Digitech is the only platform where IT companies can communicate with business, and present their solutions to them," he said. In addition, A.

Karpat Vardanyan, the Executive Director of the Joint Control Commission of the Union of Civil Aviation, said that the Union had proposed to the Prime Minister that a separate committee for technological modernization of the country should be established, which provides for a comprehensive approach and covers such spheres as military industry, business, infrastructure, education.

During the press conference, the expert in the field of information security Ruben Muradyan also spoke. He noted that there is a need to deepen cooperation between the state and companies developing solutions for information security. According to the expert, the leakage of information has recently increased and in this context the state has serious problems. "2 years ago there was a severe impact of cryptoviruses, in 2017 - the banking system suffered. This is not one precedent, and not two. I hope that within the framework of closed discussions we will be able to understand what decisions must be taken in the field of information security," he stressed.
