Centers to Combat Computer Incidents to Be Established in Azerbaijan

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