Plans to intensify efforts to ensure information security in CSTO

MINSK, 15 June (BelTA) – The CSTO countries intend to intensify their efforts to ensure information security, CSTO Secretary General Yuri Khachaturov told reporters after the session of the CSTO Committee of Security Council Secretaries on 15 June, BelTA learned.

Yuri Khachaturov said that the participants of the meeting considered the need to strengthen the information security of the CSTO countries and ways to enhance the effectiveness of the PROXI special operation aimed at combating crime on the internet.

The secretary general drew attention to the fact that in 2016 alone, more than 11,000 information resources that are potentially threatening to the security of the CSTO countries were identified during the operation. The destructive impact of information is increasing, and the internet is actively used by terrorists. “In the context of the discussion of this issue, we intend to prepare a number of specific proposals for a report that will be submitted to the heads of state,” Yuri Khachaturov said.

He pointed out that the meeting was held in a friendly and business-like atmosphere. The secretaries of the security councils discussed ways of addressing the tasks set forth by the heads of state at the CSTO Collective Security Council summit in Yerevan in October 2016.

Yuri Khachaturov stressed that the meeting identified measures to improve the CSTO rapid response forces system during the implementation of special operations. The secretaries of the security councils and the defense ministers approved the action plan for 2018. The document envisages five major exercises, a large number of trainings, conferences, roundtables, and other events.
