He said information technologies are developed in Azerbaijan and one of the largest platforms is Internet. â€œThe computerization process entered the phase that makes us to face with different threats â€“ virus, spam and others. Therefore Azerbaijan needs to create security system in this field. We have to take comprehensive measures, first of all to form international legal basis, because the people have a freedom of information, but security of information is not enhanced.
