According to the president, in recent years there has been an increase in threats to information security.
He recalled that at previous meetings, questions had been raised "about the increasing incidence of large-scale and coordinated cyber attacks."
“Now, in a number of countries, special centers have already been created for holding such actions. Strategies for the proactive use of cyber assets are being developed. With the rapid development of digital technology, the power of such information weapons, of course, will only increase. We need to not only take this into account, but to accordingly build ahead our work to protect the interests of Russia, ”Putin said.
Earlier it became known that in 2020 a resource will appear in Russia for citizens and organizations to apply to authorities on cyber threats.
