Japanese Specialists Lead Cybersecurity Training
Society
The Head of the Cybersecurity Council Secretariat Ch.
Zolbayar informed that, on average, 767,008,652 IP address violations are
registered in Mongolia per week. Of this number, malicious code accounts for 71
percent, system search for 20 percent, vulnerability gap exploitation for 4.4
percent, and password hacking violations for 2.1 percent. He noted, “In
maintaining cybersecurity, the interplay of three things is important: people,
process, and technology. Although the State Great Khural of Mongolia and the
Government of Mongolia have created a conducive legal environment to solve the
problems that arise in investment and technology, there still exists the
challenge of capacity-building.”
The training is led by instructors
from the GMO Internet Group, and Japanese specialists conducted combined
practice and theory sessions on cybersecurity risks, basic web system settings
errors, and understanding hacks against vulnerabilities.
Last year, the Cybersecurity Council
Secretariat and the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications jointly
conducted six training sessions with JICA, which were attended by over 300 people.
The training sessions, organized in collaboration with JICA, are a part of a
multifaceted effort to enhance the skills of cybersecurity professionals.
