According to the State Information Agency of Turkmenistan, the main activity of the Center is to ensure cybersecurity of information and communication systems in the ministries and departments, as well as in the structures under their jurisdiction and local self-government bodies.

In accordance with the Regulation on the State Commission on Cyber Security, approved by the Decree of the President of Turkmenistan, systematic measures are being taken to address the problems arising from the State Cyber Security Program and its Implementation Plan for 2017-2021.

Turkmenistan has adopted the Law on Electronic Documentation, Electronic Document Circulation and Digital Services, as well as a number of documents on the creation of electronic document circulation and Internet websites in the ministries and departments of the Internet. As a result, many websites have been created and registered in our country.
