ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the cyber security of Armenia by considering its national security system, as well as integration into regional and global cyber security architectures. It demonstrates that currently Armenia is a less developed actor globally, however it is a factor of stability in the regional cyber security architecture. The chapter also demonstrates that nowadays Armenia faces a wide range of cyber challenges and threats, even cyber warfare, on national, regional, and global levels. Agreeing with Martirosyan, however, it is necessary to emphasize that the main challenge to cyber space today is its internationally fragmented character. The rising regional and global uncertainties are also reflected in the cyber field, making it more essential to accelerate the modification of global and regional security institutions to bring more clarity, cooperation, and peace into the so called fifth geopolitical domain.
