As for the cyber attacks, then, as noted by Nikiforov, their growth can be seen in connection with the events taking place in our country or in the world.

“The biggest spike in the number of attacks we have seen during the Olympic Games in Sochi. Someone really wanted to interfere with the operation of various systems. course, the surge was during the Crimean events, events in Ukraine. This suggests that it is not a matter of power, and the question of “soft war.” Information technology has become a tool and during the military-political events. And, of course, it raises the level of technology and the government’s attention to this issue, “- said the Minister .

There is a fine line and every officer understands it, “- said the Minister.

On investing in internet security

to join forces with the BRICS and SCO

They are not from two, three, and their single country. In the world today, more aircraft manufacturers than manufacturers of these operating systems. This is no accident.

And they pushed through a decision in respect of the five companies in the country, and we got what we got, “- he explained.

In his opinion are not a threat to phones, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile equipment.” Threat may be not declared devices in them. And it’s not even wine producer, it’s their problem. Because they were all under the tutelage of a very dense concrete security services. Therefore, each user needs to feel personally responsible for the data that it loads in the network, for the pictures he makes using the phone for other information, which he handles with it, “- said the Minister.
