Ukraine to set up cyber security centre

Xinhua, April 5, 2017 Adjust font size:

Ukraine is to set up a consolidated centre of cyber security to better protect its cyberspace, the Ukroboronprom state defense conglomerate said on Wednesday.

"There are many highly-qualified experts in Ukraine and we aim to unite them in order to create a powerful centre of cyber security," Dmytro Budorin, the deputy head of the Ukrinmash Company, an exports and investment arm of Ukroboronprom, said in a statement.

According to the statement, Kiev will involve consultants from Turkey's HAVELSAN center of cyber defense technologies and information security professionals from NATO to assist with the establishment of cyber security centre in Ukraine.

After the formation of a special police unit in 2015 to shore up the country's cyber security, the number of cyber crimes in Ukraine has dropped.

Last year, the Interior Ministry has registered about 1,500 cyber-crime cases in Ukraine, compared with more than 2,000 cases in 2015. Endit
