Armenia has been ranked 79th in the Global Cybersecurity Index, and this is a rather low ranking. This is what Minister of High-Tech Industry of Armenia Hakob Arshakyan said during a discussion on the performance of the 2019 State Budget held as part of the joint session of parliamentary standing committees today, adding that the Armenian government has already planned actions to have an impact on that indicator.

“The government has already stated that it will launch the project for the establishment of a National Cybersecurity Center, in association with the World Bank. Through this project, the government would also like to have an impact on the indicators and ensure Armenia’s progress in digital economy and in the system of management, digital skills and cybersecurity,” Arshakyan stated.
