An increased number of cyberattacks is observed, said
Head of the Information Security Department of the Central bank of
Azerbaijan Elvin Shahverdiyev during the 6th International Banking
Forum, trend reports.
According to him, the use of artificial intelligence
in the fight against illegal attacks becomes more actual.
'Considering the dynamic increase of cyberattacks as
well as their diversity, it is necessary to inform society of these
threats as soon as possible. In this direction, both regulators and
other figures in the financial sector should take relevant
measures,' he said.
Shahverdiyev stated that the Central Bank, with the
support of the World Bank, conducted a survey on the state of
information security among the top 10 banks in Azerbaijan.
'Each sector was evaluated according to the various
indicators, including the identification and detection of
information threats, the reaction to them and their prevention, the
operational restoration of information systems, and so on.
According to the results of this survey, it was observed that 9 out
of 10 banks consider it a priority to devote attention to the
sector of information security,' he said.
'Moreover, despite banks having special incident
detection and response centers, only 3 banks provide this service
24/7. The new strategy will pay more attention to this,' said the
head of the department.
