The “Internet Society” NGO was among the pioneers of internet development in Armenia, playing a key role in its early expansion.
In 1997, it became the first and for a period the only organization in the country to provide access to email services and personal web hosting through the launch of the freenet.am domain.
Between 2009 and 2025, the organization operated an Information Security Center (CERT), tasked with monitoring cybersecurity developments and responding to emerging threats. The center worked in close cooperation with its counterpart at the Armenian National Research and Education Network (AM NREN CSIRT).
In 2007, with support from the American University of Armenia and NATO, the organization conducted a specialized course titled “Armenian National Research and Education Networks: Achievements, Challenges, and Solutions.”
In 2009, it also supported the establishment of a regional community internet center through financial assistance provided under a grant from the American University of Armenia.
