President
of Russia Vladimir Putin:Colleagues, good afternoon.
Today I propose that we discuss an issue of great importance and immediate relevance – raising the level of digital security in Russia.
We are all
well aware that the sustainable development of the state and society depends to a large extent on the widespread adoption of digital technologies. We are
systematically and consistently building the digital contour of the economy and the social sphere: we are rolling out services based on artificial
intelligence, introducing advanced approaches to data storage, processing and transmission, as well as to communications, and the economy is being placed on a platform footing.
The Presidential Commission on the Development of Artificial Intelligence
Technologies and the interdepartmental working group on developing ecosystems
of the digital economy and digital platforms play a coordinating role in this
work.
Today,
Russia is consistently reinforcing its sovereignty in all areas, from basic
food and energy security to digital infrastructure.
However, it
is obvious that as we advance on the digital transition agenda and considering
direct and hybrid acts of external aggression we are facing, cyberthreats for the economy, logistics, transport, social services, essential infrastructure,
and public administration have reached a new level as well. In order to neutralise these threats, Russia’s cybersecurity framework must be improved in all its aspects, including in terms of risk assessment, monitoring dependence
on external platforms, and ensuring that we are equipped to promptly respond to cyberattacks, while streamlining coordination between law enforcement and intelligence agencies, telecom operators, financial institutions, internet
companies, and other actors.
I look
forward to hearing proposals today that will raise the level of digital
security in Russia.
Let us get
down to work – to the reports.
May I ask
Mr Gref to speak first.
- National security
- Telecommunications
