For the second time, Armenia is hosting the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) CyberDrill, which brings together representatives of government agencies, private sector companies, and local and international partners to jointly strengthen cyber capabilities.

The event was opened by Minister of High-Tech Industry of the Republic of Armenia Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, who emphasized:

“Implementing effective cybersecurity policies is becoming increasingly important, given the globally expanding and evolving cyber threats.

This requires clear and targeted actions, which the Government is undertaking in cooperation with the private sector, industry experts, and international partners,” noted the Minister.

Director of the Information systems agency of Armenia, Nerses Yeritsyan, highlighted that the purpose of the platform is to transform security policies into operational systems, standards, and capabilities — enabling Armenia to become safer and digital governance stronger.

He noted that such exercises contribute to deepening systematic cooperation, exchanging experience, and developing rapid response capabilities. The initiative also promotes the establishment of a sustainable public-private partnership ecosystem.

The ITU CyberDrill has become a platform for international cooperation, helping enhance the skills of specialists working in Armenia’s critical information infrastructures and fostering a culture of collective defense — where every institution and company contributes to strengthening national resilience.

Resilience is built through cooperation. By working together, we are building not only secure systems but also a reliable future for our citizens and businesses.
