Earlier this month Russian Vice-Premier Dmitry Rogozin ordered the creation of a council for cyber security that will operate under the Military Industrial Commission. An inter-departmental working group for information security would also be set up.
“Mr. Rogozin ordered the creation of a council for cyber security within the framework of the Military Industrial Commission and use it as a floor for carrying out an inventory of all laws and legislative acts, harmonize the legislation and get down to working out meaningful rather than declarative legislative acts that will help ensuring legislative regulation in matters of information security,” said Sergei Shishkaryov, the first deputy chairman of the Russian government’s Maritime Board.
“There may be three kinds of threats: from a country or a coalition of countries that are stronger than Russia; from an equally strong enemy; or from a technically weaker enemy, be it a state or a terrorist organization,” Rogozin stated.
