Cybersecurity is a crucial component of national security for states in the contemporary era. Just as each state contends for control over its physical territory, it also engages in efforts to monitor and direct the cyberspace in line with its own interests and objectives. However, for states, the implementation of cyber policies solely through their own capacities poses challenges. Hence, many countries leverage the power of non-state actors in the cyberspace. The primary objective of this article is to investigate the role and functions of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Armenia's cyberspace. The study of this topic is theoretically significant for understanding the role of NGOs in the political structure of Armenian society and practically relevant for national cybersecurity. The research is politically oriented and aims to evaluate issues related to Armenia's cyberspace primarily using political science methodologies.
