Enhancement of professional training and occupational certification systems for information security and cyber defense is an ongoing task to strengthen Ukraine’s cyber resilience, said Oleksandr Potii, SSSCIP Deputy Chairman, in his speech at the Kyiv International Cybersecurity Forum.

Traditionally, in October, various events take place in the U.S., EU countries and many other countries to draw the public attention to the cyber defense matters. Those include awareness campaigns to promote the cyber hygiene rules and other arrangements. Our country has been supporting this initiative for several years already.
