The Caucasus University, with the support of the Communications Commission, hosted the fifth international scientific conference “Telecommunications and Security,” which served to discuss the latest trends in the field of telecommunications and cybersecurity, and to share experience. The conference, which addressed the modern challenges in cybersecurity, the prospects for development of telecommunications, and the innovations in the field of IT, was opened by ComCom member Ekaterine Imedadze. She talked about the main goals of the Communications Commission, as well as the digital sustainability of Georgia and the prospects for the development of innovations. The commissioner noted that in modern reality, the security of the telecom sector goes beyond the technical issues, and is of strategic importance.

At the end of her speech, Ekaterine Imedadze also highlighted Georgia's strategic vision: “Georgia's experience clearly shows that security, innovation, and a competitive environment must be developed simultaneously. Our goal is to create a strong, sustainable, and inclusive digital ecosystem that ensures the country's regional leadership and the security of each consumer,” the commissioner noted and emphasised that the Commission's task is to ensure competitiveness and security in the telecommunications market.
