    APAGA TECHNOLOGIES RECOMMEND SSL PROTOCOLS USE

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Private companies and governmental structures in
    Armenia have urgent security issues to be resolved, according to
    Apaga Technologies marketing manager Hayk Asryants.

    As he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, failure to use SSL certificates
    increases vulnerability of data transferred via internet.

    "Risks become even more perceptible with foreign transactions. While
    the user makes online purchases, sends or receives a report,
    information can be easily intercepted on the route from provider to
    server. Information security is an urgent issue for state structures,
    who do not code their websites. Part of internet traffic goes
    through Turkey and Georgia, increasing vulnerability of official
    correspondence," he noted.

    To resolve the issue, Apaga Technologies recommends use of VeriSign
    SSL certificates, which already benefited 96 major banks worldwide.

    "Last year, a bank in Armenia lost USD 150 000 because of insecure
    data transfer," he noted, emphasizing: "The need to focus on security
    and risk management is gaining momentum in Armenia."

    Currently, a number of Armenian banks, the Ministry of Foreign
    Affairs as well as VivaCell-MTS and Orange Armenia mobile operators
    use cryptographic protocols.
