Tokayev's KNB Visit: A Sign of Growing Cybersecurity Concerns in Kazakhstan
President Tokayev's visit to the KNB signals growing concerns about cybersecurity and national security in Kazakhstan. The official statement focused on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, but the closed-door nature of the meeting suggests deeper worries. Experts believe the visit highlights the government's concerns about potential threats from hackers and those critical of the government's actions on social media. The visit also underscores vulnerabilities in the country's critical infrastructure. 'The visit can be seen as a signal of the need for action,' says one analyst. 'It's possible this is the start of a new era of technological espionage.' The government's focus on cybersecurity reflects a growing awareness of the need to protect national assets and maintain stability.
