Ukrainian-American cooperation in the field of cyber security is reaching a new level

The State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on cooperation in the field of cyber security with the Agency for Cyber ​​Security and Infrastructure Security of the Department of National Security of the United States of America (CISA). By the way, the State Special Intelligence Service and the Government Office of the Republic of Slovenia for Information Security in the Cyber ​​Defense Sector have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The document will provide an opportunity to join forces for the development and distribution of new technologies that contribute to the introduction of a secure global information space. As well as the development of joint approaches to countering cyber-aggression.

Establishing deeper cooperation with American partners is another important step for the integration of Ukrainian cyber defenders into the global professional cyber environment. The USA, together with Ukraine, are the countries against which the largest number of cyber attacks are carried out. Therefore, the exchange of experience and joint efforts in countering cyber-aggression will enable both states to protect their own information resources much more effectively.

“This memorandum symbolizes a lasting partnership and alignment in protecting our shared values ​​through enhanced real-time information sharing between agencies and critical sectors and committed collaboration to develop a sustainable partnership.” Oleksandr Potiy, deputy head of the State Special Service

Director of CISA, Jen Easterly, in her turn, emphasized that the signed document will deepen CISA’s cooperation in the field of cyber security with Ukrainian partners.

“I applaud Ukraine’s heroic efforts to defend its nation against unprecedented Russian cyber aggression, and I am incredibly moved by the resilience and bravery of the Ukrainian people during this unprovoked war. Cyber ​​threats cross borders and oceans, so we look forward to developing our relationship with the CSIRO to share information and jointly build a global cyber resilience framework.”
