A new profession has emerged in Ukraine’s information protection sector: a new professional standard, "Counter-Technical Intelligence Specialist," has been added to the Unified Register of Qualifications—the classifier of professions. This was reported by the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, according to UNN.

As noted by the State Special Communications Service, the professional standard defines:
- the job functions of a counter-technical intelligence specialist;
