The strategy for ensuring cybersecurity of Azerbaijan has been submitted for the approval of Cabinet of Minister of Azerbaijan, Chief of Special Communication and Information Security State Service of Azerbaijan Tural Mammadov said during the event on 'Cyber-secure economy: reforms, innovative approaches and solutions', Trend reports.
According to him, the formation of Azerbaijan's strategy for cybersecurity was launched back in 2018.
