The document discusses cyber security issues and critical infrastructure protection in Uzbekistan. It notes that cyber attacks are increasing globally, occurring every 14 seconds, and resulted in $1.5 trillion in financial losses in 2018 alone. Uzbekistan's critical infrastructure sectors that would cause emergency situations if compromised include energy, finance, transport, and telecommunications. The country is focusing on improving cyber legislation, national cyber strategies, and international cooperation to strengthen protections for critical systems from growing cyber threats. Key priorities include information sharing between government and infrastructure operators, as well as private sector involvement, standards, and collaborative research.
