A new cyber threat center is being created in Ukraine with U.S. assistance, UNIAN News Agency reported.
This was announced by the deputy defence minister of Ukraine and the Defense Ministry's chief of staff, Col-Gen Oleksandr Dublyan, at today's briefing in Kyiv.
"We have started creating a center to deal with cyber security threats, which is receiving assistance from the US government," Dublyan said.
In addition, the deputy minister noted that "measures are being taken to introduce data protection means in the telecommunications systems of the Defense Ministry and the Armed Forces with account of the standards of foreign countries".
Also, according to Dublyan, a blueprint for cyber defence in Ukraine has been drafted, which has been agreed with representatives of the US European Command and the National Security Authority of the Czech Republic. Currently, this document is being reviewed by a parliament committee and the National Security and Defense Council.
He noted that the center was carrying out measures to create an effective system for operational and command control, communications, intelligence and surveillance, and work was being done to switch the field component of the defence forces communication system to digital means meeting NATO protection standards.
