Ts.Baatarkhuu: Organizations storing critical data to hire cyber security specialists www.gogo.mn
In a Cabinet meeting today, Ts.Baatarkhuu, the Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Communications, announced significant decisions to enhance Mongolia's cyber security and address cyber crime threats.
The Minister emphasized the importance of establishing a comprehensive system for cybersecurity across all organizations with critical information infrastructure, beyond addressing isolated cases like the recent cyber issues faced by Intermed Hospital. Mongolia currently ranks 103rd on the United Nations Cybersecurity Index, receiving commendations in legal criteria but struggling with technical capabilities and international cooperation.
In order to address these gaps, the Cabinet has decided that organizations storing critical data will now be required to employ dedicated cyber security specialists. The Minister also confirmed that nine servers from Intermed Hospital were hacked recently, and restoration efforts are ongoing.
