Chisinau, 25 May /MOLDPRES/ - The strategic vision as to the ensuring of Moldova’s cyber security today was discussed at public consultations, held in the context of the elaboration of the National Security Strategy. Experts in the cyber security sector, representatives of the civil society and governmental institutions, as well as of the academic and private environments referred to the immediate and long-term actions for enhancing the cyber resilience of Moldova, the government’s communication and public relations department has reported.   

Attending the event, Prime Minister Dorin Recean said that, after the unleashing of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Moldova had become target of the hybrid threats and attacks. To counteract them, the authorities will focus on the consolidation of the cyber security measures, protection of citizens and ensuring a proper work of the critical infrastructure.   

„The cyber security becomes ever more important with the extension of the government’s digital agenda. Therefore, it is necessary that we promote a culture of cyber security in the entire society, as well as actively get involved in the cooperation with foreign partners in the cyber security sector,’’ Prime Minister Dorin Recean said.  

Ambassador of the United States to Moldova Kent Logsdon stressed that the USA would further support Moldova in ensuring the cyber security. He noted that this field was crucial, given that Moldova advances in the process of integration into the European Union.  

The participants in the public consultations also discussed the international partnerships as regards the cyber security and the measures taken by the cabinet to amplify the response to the challenges in the information space. They also analyzed the viewpoint of the private sector on the cyber security and the ways of improving the exchange of information between the public sector and the private one in the cyber security field.
