Russia to develop cyberspace 'security' without 'total control'

MOSCOW: President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday said Russia must increase its cybersecurity but pledged not to impose total control over the Internet, amid fears Moscow is mulling whether to limit access to the worldwide Web. 

"Today we need to develop and carry out a number of extra measures to protect information. It is necessary to increase the security of Russian communications networks and information resources," Putin told his national security council.
