On June 19, 2018, a forum “Cyber Security – Protecting Your Business” was held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine on the initiative of the Committee on Electronic Communications at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine. One of the key elements of cybersecurity is raising public awareness of existing and potential threats.

The Forum has become a platform for discussing ways of helping companies of all sizes to assess, develop and strengthen their cybersecurity programs for business protection, education and exchange of experience (technology, legislation, decision); Identification of best practices in the field of information security; Establishment of a cross-sectoral dialogue “Society – Business – State”; providing a real impetus to Ukrainian society to raise awareness of cyber threats and ways to overcome them.

The discussion of the problem took place in three formats: political – the strategy of formation of the state ecosystem; technological – applied technologies for information security for business; and educational – the problems and perspectives of preparing experts on cybersecurity.

Speakers of the forum noted that in Ukraine the theme of cybersecurity in the last three years has undergone significant changes. However, even today, many in the government, in business, and in society do not feel sufficiently aware of or are not prepared for cyber threats. Cybersecurity should become part of the culture of each business unit or institution. Companies, government and vendors should jointly develop cyberecosystem as a complex community of interacting devices, networks, people and organizations, processes and technologies. This will create conditions for mitigating threats, which become more refined and dangerous every day.
