In his opening remarks, Central Bank Governor Mr. Martin Galstyan noted: “Over the past four years, CyberGEN has grown from a national dialogue into a regional and international platform, that brings together some of the brightest minds in cybersecurity, finance, regulation, and technology, to discuss and address some of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges of today and tomorrow”.

Director of the Information Systems Agency, Mr. Nerses Yeritsyan, stressed the importance of anticipating future challenges: “As we look to the future, we recognize the need to be innovative. The pace of technological change demands readiness not only for today’s challenges, but for tomorrow’s needs. We see the potential impacts of artificial intelligence and innovative technologies to ensure that Armenia's digital environment is flexible, reliable, and secure.”

The CyberGEN 2025 agenda focuses on in-depth discussions and hands-on activities aimed at unlocking participants’ potential and strengthening their professional capabilities.
