Threats to information security grow as Internet becomes widely available, Michel Davoudian Director of the Apaga (Future) Technologies Company stated at a workshop on IT security. “Statistical data show that only 1,000 out of 2m messages are really letters, the rest are spam,” he said. Message filtering is one of the priority IT security tasks.

IT security risks are increasing simultaneously with Internet development. “Internet has been rapidly developing in Armenia recently, and the security problem is much more important – cybercriminals look for weak zones to attack,” Davoudian said. He pointed out that cybercrime-caused damage totals several hundred million U.S. dollars.

Commercial companies and banks should pay special attention to information security, as they transmit confidential information by means of Internet.

Apaga Technologies Internet and information security offers solutions tested in a number of European countries.
