Ukraine will create a center for the exchange and analysis of information on cyber threats using the best European practices, in particular, the ISAC model.
This decision was made at a meeting on September 19 by the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity (NCCC), the National Security and Defense Council reported.
“The meeting participants paid considerable attention to ensuring the stable operation of mobile communications and the Internet under martial law. Companies in the telecommunications sector are constantly subject to cyberattacks by Russian hackers. In order to improve cooperation in responding to such threats, the participants supported the initiative to create a center for the exchange and analysis of information on cyber threats in the industry using the best European practices, in particular, the ISAC model,” the NSDC said in a Facebook post on Friday.
In addition, the issue of ensuring the continuous operation of electronic communication networks during power outages was considered and a decision was made.
It is also reported that a number of decisions were made aimed at developing the cybersecurity sector in the country. These include the launch of a national initiative to promote the role of women in cybersecurity and gender equality, as well as the introduction of an automated platform for monitoring the implementation of the Cybersecurity Strategy of Ukraine (CyberTracker), which will improve strategic planning in this area. Also, certain issues aimed at strengthening national cyber resilience were considered in a closed session.
