YEREVAN, January 20. /ARKA/. The Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) has highlighted the risks of cyber threats to the country's critical infrastructure, which could be implemented in 2026 by state and non-state actors engaged in hybrid operations against Armenia.
"Malicious cyber operations are aimed at paralyzing the country's critical infrastructure, losing control over its management, disrupting the provision of vital services, and other similar consequences," states the FIS report "On the External Security Risks of the Republic of Armenia" for 2026.
The Service noted that financial and banking organizations, communications infrastructure, digital platforms of government bodies, including the digital resources of the Central Election Commission, territorial and precinct election commissions, as well as the digital infrastructure for electricity distribution, are highly likely to be targeted.
