Survey on users’ trust AniMkrtchyan ISOC Armenia
Internet is the real revolution of our millennium. Over the past 3 decades, it has transformed our life to such an extent it was impossible to visualize. Internet has come to facilitate our life, to change our way of thinking and understanding. From a global perspective, with the growth of its dimensions, now we are facing major sociocultural changes. However among the high positive impacts it may have, we are also dealing with huge concerns online-such as privacy and security, data breaches and various threats. These issues may even prevent a great number of end users from systematic usage of the Internet. So what can we do? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, there is... We should deeply realize that a trusted Internet can be achieved neither by a single treaty, piece of legislation, nor by a mere technical fix. We have got to have a collective responsibility to protect one global Internet that we all depend on. In order to better prevent and mitigate data breaches, as an indivisible integral of a global mosaic, we, at ISOC Armenia chapter, have determined to make our humble contribution to designing a more trusted Internet. For this purpose we have recently initiated a survey, called users' trust, to find out Armenian users' perception towards online security and privacy issues. Social networks served for us as a tool to conduct our survey. More than 600 people have participated to it, all having higher education and from 17-50 years old. ISOC Chapters meeting 2017.

The mere intention of our Chapter was not only observing peoples' attitude towards Internet related issues, but we were aimed to develop an appropriate strategy for its resolution. 600 people from civil sector and with high education are much aware of protection tools online as we've seen. However the majority of them expressed readiness to learn more, to be informed more. The first step will be conducting a more expansive survey in the whole country, among different age groups, to find out the actual situation of the country.The next step will be organizing the first National Summer School on Internet Governance this year. So, this much about how ISOC Armenia deals with users' trust topic and about our recent initiations. ISOC Chapters meeting 2017. Amsterdam, Feb 22-23
