Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili opened today the "Georgian Cyber Security Forum - 2023".

Since 2012, the Ministry of Justice has been one of the main regulatory and supervisory agencies in the field of cyber security in Georgia. The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the safe delivery of government services and raising public awareness in the field of cyber security.

Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze delivered a speech at the cyber security forum.

"In the 21st century, in the technological era, the digitization of many areas has, on the one hand, greatly simplified life, and on the other hand, it has also given rise to many challenges. A few years ago, it may have been considered a sci-fi fiction that public administration would be completely digital, but today it is already a reality. In the field of justice, administrative acts, laws, court decisions will be advanced to a significant extent through artificial intelligence. Therefore, the more the digital sphere grows, the more threats there will be in the future. Therefore, cyber security will be given even more special importance in the future. Cyber security is an integral part of the immunity of the modern state, and taking care of it is one of the main challenges that any modern state can face.

In addition to local security, security also has an international dimension, and that is why close cooperation with our international partners is one of the main priorities for international security. I am pleased to represent the Ministry of Justice at this forum, where the Digital Governance Agency plays one of the most important roles in the country, even in ensuring the digital security of the private sector. All this requires a broad forum, cooperation both at the inter-departmental and international level, and therefore we thank the Prime Minister, who chairs this forum, as well as Minister of Internal Affairs, Vakhtang Gomelauri, and all the members of the National Security Council, on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, for organizing this forum; as well as for each step taken to ensure the security of the state. We declare our full readiness to cooperate with all agencies to the best of our ability," said Rati Bregadze.

Representatives of Georgian public agencies involved in ensuring cyber security, foreign experts from partner countries and representatives of diplomatic missions also participate in the event.

The Deputy Minister of Justice discussed the results achieved as a result of successful cooperation with the Head of the Department of Enforcement of Decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.
