BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 25. Cyberattacks can disrupt the operation of critical infrastructure, Ilgar Musayev, Head of the State Service for Special Communication and Information Security of Azerbaijan said at the First International Cyber Diplomacy Conference (ICCD) in Baku today, Trend reports.
According to him, cybersecurity isn't just a can of worms when it comes to technicalities; it also dances on the tightrope of political, economic, and social factors.
"Therefore, to boost global cybersecurity, we need diplomatic, legislative, and capacity-building efforts in addition to technical measures.
Today's event is a melting pot of government representatives, diplomats, cybersecurity whizzes, members of international organizations, academia, and the private sector.
The sharing of insights and experiences among the conference participants will surely pave the way for a more well-rounded and impactful strategy in the realm of cybersecurity and cyber diplomacy," he added.
The conference is taking place under the joint organization of the State Service for Special Communication and Information Security of Azerbaijan and the Cyber Diplomacy Center of Romania within the 5th anniversary Azerbaijan International Defense Exhibition (ADEX).
