Bishkek, November 14, 2025 — Kyrgyzstan is facing a growing wave of cyberattacks, and experts warn that digital security is becoming a major challenge not only for businesses but for society as a whole. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, around 1,600 cybercrimes were officially recorded in the country last year, with less than half of them solved.

Against this backdrop, Check Point Security Day 2025, organized by Green Light ITS together with Check Point Software Technologies, became a landmark event for the IT community. The conference brought together more than 60 experts from banks, IT companies, government institutions, and the private sector to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming cyber defense and enabling proactive prevention of digital threats.

In his opening remarks, the CEO of Green Light ITS highlighted that cybersecurity is becoming critically important for the region, and the company’s mission is to create platforms for professional dialogue and knowledge exchange between business, government, and technology partners:

“Cybersecurity is not just about technology. It is about protecting personal data, finances, and trust in digital services. Today, it is essential not to react to attacks but to prevent them,” said Ivan Karmanov, CEO of Green Light ITS.

AI and Preventive Defense: The New Reality of Cybersecurity

The central theme of the event was the shift from reactive security to proactive, AI-driven protection.

Sergey Nevstruev, Product Expert for Harmony Endpoint in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, emphasized that such solutions consolidate all security tools into a single agent, significantly reducing the workload for IT teams:

“Harmony Endpoint protects workstations from major threats including phishing, ransomware, and zero-day attacks. Centralized management in a single interface makes security not only stronger but also more transparent,”  he explained.

Kyrgyzstan Needs a Stronger Digital Security Culture

According to participants, cyber threats in the region are becoming increasingly targeted and sophisticated, with attackers actively relying on social engineering techniques.

Experts stressed that combating such schemes requires not only advanced technology but also improved digital literacy across the population.

“Technology is only part of the solution. Without a mindful approach to personal cybersecurity, we all remain vulnerable — both companies and individual users,”
noted Yerzhan Kaliev, Territory Account Manager, Check Point Central Asia.

The conference served as an important platform for professional dialogue and knowledge sharing among information security specialists. Participants noted a strong interest in the topic, especially as Kyrgyzstan transitions toward a digital economy and the number of online operations continues to grow.
