Digital Security and the Responsibility of Business

Building B, level 7, conference hall 12

The rapid transformation of the traditional channels for doing business into a digital format and the active development of digital business have made it a priority for the government and the business community to resolve issues related to ensuring digital security. The issue is particularly acute when it comes to processing and ensuring the safety of the personal data of citizens. Despite the government’s special efforts to provide targeted measures to support and stimulate digital business, it remains the most vulnerable sector of the digital economic space. Last year, 95 major databases were leaked from Russian companies (30% more than the year before), with 80% of such cases linked to cyberattacks, and every tenth leak was due to the actions of employees. The main problem that the authorities and businesses need to solve is how to combat these hackers technologically. The digital security of citizens and businesses can only be ensured through comprehensive measures, in which prevention and education are just as important as directly suppressing criminal activity. Regulators and businesses base their joint activities on a combination of infrastructure and regulatory solutions. Internet security is the shared responsibility of the state, business, and the media, which must work to reduce such crimes. How can we improve digital security for businesses? How can digital technologies help to protect entrepreneurs and consumers against potential threats? What is the best way to ensure the cybersecurity of citizens? How can we find a balance between stimulating the industry and protecting people’s rights and interests?
