The cyber security issues are the priority for the Ministry of Communications and Media of Russia. This was emphasized by the deputy head of the department of regulation of radio frequencies and communication networks of the Ministry of George Gritsay, speaking at the Russian Internet Governance Forum.

According to him, the key issue is the protection of public communications networks, since it is they which connected to each other the most of the critical infrastructure of the country.

As reported, in his turn, a member of the Council of the Federation Ruslan Gattarov, a special working group continues to work on the development of the Concept of national cyber security. “This is a political document. We put at the center not the state, but the citizen, society and business”, - said Gattarov.

The importance of issues of cyber security was noted by the special guest of the forum, a member of the international management corporations of Internet address space ICANN Steve Crocker, who was behind the creation of the “world wide web”. “Now it is important to ensure the stability of the technical working and to prevent Internet disruptions”, - he stressed. A special attention, according to experts, should be given to the protection of major online news resources because their “failure” will not remain unnoticed by users. Another important area, according to him, is the protection of data of large corporations.
