Society
Ulaanbaatar, October 31, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications, in cooperation with the Government of the United Kingdom, conducted a study from October 27 to 31 to assess Mongolia’s cybersecurity risks.
According to the Ministry,
the joint study, carried out by a Mongolian technical team and cybersecurity
experts from the UK Government, aims to implement the National Cybersecurity Strategy approved by a Government resolution,
identify the level of cybersecurity risks, and plan measures to reduce those
risks.
Using the methodology and questionnaire developed by the UK Government
for cybersecurity risk assessment, British experts will train the Mongolian
team in identifying risks and preparing cybersecurity risk reports at the organizational, sectoral, and national levels. The Mongolian team is responsible for
collecting the necessary data and preparing the report.
The study is expected to help the Government and organizations with critical
information infrastructure identify cyber risks, make evidence-based
decisions on resource allocation, investment, and policy planning, and
strengthen prevention and response measures against potential threats. It will
also raise awareness and understanding of risk identification and response.
On October 28, 2025, a training session was held for representatives of
critical information infrastructure and public and private sector organizations
to explain how to identify, assess, and quantify the impact of cyber risks and
to emphasize the importance of the study.
More than 40 public and private organizations with critical information infrastructure
are participating in the study to assess Mongolia’s national cybersecurity
risks.
