Title ProperRussia and the west expand cyberspace security dialogue
LanguageENG
AuthorTyurin, D
Summary / Abstract (Note)This year's forum was attended by representatives from Russia, the United States, China, the UK, Korea, Germany, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, Canada and other countries. The Russian delegation was led by Col. Gen. Vladislav Sherstyuk, former chief of the Federal Government Communications and Information Agency (FAPSI) and advisor to the secretary of the Russian Security Council. Opening the forum, he said that the global community today is on the threshold of a real threat, specifically the malicious and hostile use of information and communication technology (ICT). The war in cyberspace and cyber terrorism can lead to accidents at nuclear power plants, the destruction of hydroelectric power plants, accidents in the transport sector and other infrastructure facilities, with destructive consequences on par with those caused by weapons of mass destruction. "As the security of entire humankind is at stake, this problem can only be solved through joint efforts," V. Sherstyuk said.
