Cyber security bureau will be established in Georgia

The parliament approved to make changes in the bill about the informative security. According to these amendments, they will establish the cyber security bureau as a legal entity in the Ministry of Defense.

This bureau will provide the prevention of cyber-attacks in Georgia.

"Cyber security is not only a technical issue and antivirus isn't able to provide security in the digital world. Cyber security is a system with various aspects and abilities. Every department, banks, internet providers and other organizations in Georgia aren't protected from the cyber-attack. - This is written in the explanatory note of the bill.

Georgia became a target of the large-scale cyber-attack in August of 2008, when the Russian hackers took down Georgian web sites during the 2008 war between the two countries.
