ArmInfo. At a meeting on May 14, the RA government approved a list of international standards to be applied in the field of cybersecurity.
As Deputy Minister of High-Tech Industry of the Republic of Armenia Gevork Mantashyan noted in his speech, in recent years, along with the growing use of information and digital systems, the number of cyber threats in the country has increased significantly. Last year, following lengthy discussions, a package of laws aimed at addressing this issue was adopted. Following the adoption of the package, the need arose for the adoption of bylaws, one of which is the document presented. The main goal of the project is to establish clear international standards for critical information infrastructures, cybersecurity service providers, and cybersecurity auditors operating in the vital sector, with which the latter are required to comply. The document includes a list of applicable international standards, application guidelines, and the scope of application. The adoption of the document is expected to introduce international cybersecurity standards into the legal environment, as well as establish clear, unified, and predictable rules for the activities of critical information infrastructures, cybersecurity service providers, and cybersecurity auditors working in the vital sector.
