Cybersecurity is an activity aimed at ensuring the protection of users, their information systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks.
The main purpose of such cyberattacks can be both obtaining confidential user information for further abuse of this information for the hacker's own purposes, and disrupting the work of an entire business process. Therefore, especially in the context of government departments and large private organizations, for Kazakhstan as well as for other countries of the world, one of the main tasks for an effective and safe presence on the Internet is precisely the development of the cybersecurity sphere.
The purpose of the "CYBERSHIELD of Kazakhstan" concept is to achieve and maintain the level of protection of electronic information resources, information systems and information and communication infrastructure from external and internal threats ensuring sustainable development of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the conditions of global competition.
