Internet rates in Armenia will start to go down in about a month, director of “Apaga Technologies” Michel Davudyan told NEWS.am-Innovation.

“I am confident Internet rates will reduce as the competition increases and demand grows, so the price cut is inevitable,” Davudyan said, adding that with coverage extension information security should be the main focus of attention.

According to him, information security issue goes to the frontburner, as the cases of cyber-crimes and size of their damage increased dramatically.

“Information security in Armenia is subpar, and frequent attacks on official and large company’s websites proves this,” director outlined.

He reckons that safety culture of Internet use should be fostered, “For instance, if the e-mail password comprises few symbols, no matter how strong the security system is, it will be impossible to protect the user’s address.” In addition, information security issue can be tackled neither on state nor on business level, as the IT field is on the upswing, Davudyan concluded.
