Doszhan Musaliev, Vice Minister of AI and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan: - The ultimate goal is to inform the population, all categories of citizens, about the importance of cybersecurity. Because statistics show that in more than 80% of cases of cyber fraud or cyber hacking that occur, it is always due to the human factor. That is, a person is deceived and then penetrates the system. Therefore, it is very important that people comply with the basic requirements.
