Cyber Security Strategy 2021-2024 Ministry of Defence of Georgia Minister’s speech Activities of the Ministry of Defence of Georgia, that contain components including combat training, operation planning, military exercises, logistics or day-to-day activities, strongly depend on the safe and proper functioning of the information and communication systems. Therefore, ensuring the cyber security of these systems in peacetime, emergency and war situations is one of the strategic goals of the Ministry of Defence of Georgia. Amid rapid technological advances and an increasingly complex security situation, hybrid threats continue to dominate. From a wide array of hybrid means, the cyber component is actively used for sabotage, espionage and psychological operations. The agenda includes the need for consistent development of cyber security capabilities of the Ministry of Defence, which requires complex planning and proper execution. The cyber security strategy for the medium term, envisages the strengthening of critically important areas that create a solid precondition for the Ministry of Defence of Georgia to adapt its cyber capabilities to NATO and EU standards.
