According to the decree by President Ilham Aliyev on the implementation of amendments to the 'Law on Information, Informatization, and Information Protection,' cybersecurity activities within information infrastructures performing public functions will be ensured through CERTs (Computer Emergency Response Teams). These CERTs will either be relevant structures of the state bodies responsible for state policy, regulation, and supervision in the respective sector or resident legal entities designated by these bodies under contract. Furthermore, the Cabinet of Ministers is tasked with taking measures to finance the organization or designation of centers to combat computer incidents based on proposals from these state bodies.
