Pyongyang, August 17 (KCNA) -- The secretary of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Nikolai Borzhzya, Monday called for intensifying the battle against cyber terrorism.

Cyber terrorism threat has become a serious and main problem as the IT-based attack renders the situation of countries instable, the secretary said. Taking countermeasures to cope with the threat is one of the CSTO's primary tasks.

CSTO will launch a systematic effort for battling cyber terrorism, he added.
