ArmInfo. On March 26, the Armenian Parliament began discussing candidates for the Information Systems Regulatory Commission. The Armenian Government nominated Nairi Adamyan for a four-year term and Srbuhi Hakobyan for a three-year term.
Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, Minister of High-Tech Industry of the Republic of Armenia, presented the candidates' biographies.
During their presentations, the candidates outlined their visions for the development of information technology, cybersecurity, maintaining competition, and protecting against hybrid threats.
Voting on the candidates is expected to take place later.
As a reminder, an autonomous regulatory body, the Information Systems Regulatory Commission, is being established in Armenia within the framework of the Law on Cybersecurity. The five-member body, elected by parliament, will be responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, identifying cyber incidents, and implementing security standards in the public and private sectors. The new structure will focus on enhancing cybersecurity, protecting critical infrastructure, and establishing an autonomous, depoliticized regulator. The Commission's responsibilities will include identifying, preventing, and eliminating cyber incidents and implementing cybersecurity standards. The new structure is designed to strengthen national security in the digital sphere.
