Cybersecurity is a set of measures aimed at protecting computer systems and networks from various threats, such as hacker attacks, identity theft and the spread of malware. In today's world, where most processes, from government services to personal communication, are moving to an online format, ensuring cybersecurity is becoming extremely important for the protection of both the state and each individual Internet user.

KISA representatives expressed interest in Turkmen specialists taking part in international events and specialized trainings held in South Korea. This will allow Turkmen experts to gain advanced knowledge and skills in the field of cybersecurity. Both sides stressed the importance of continuing the exchange of experience, which will allow both countries to learn from each other's practices and jointly counter modern cyber threats.

The State Cybersecurity Service under the Turkmenaragatnashyk Agency is a key body in Turkmenistan responsible for ensuring the security of the country's information systems and networks.
