Details
Order No. 692/nm of October 15 approved the industry security profile – a set of rules for protecting systems where open, confidential or official information is processed.
The document defines unified minimum requirements for the cybersecurity of systems used in the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the State Special Transport Service. It was created in accordance with international standards and national legislation, taking into account the specifics of the defense industry.
Unified cybersecurity rules will allow us to more effectively protect our information resources and accelerate the creation and implementation of new services.
The main goal of the profile is to ensure a unified approach to data protection, increase the level of cybersecurity and simplify the assessment of system compliance.
The profile contains requirements for access, data protection, security monitoring, as well as recommendations for the implementation of administrative and technical measures. All structural units that will work with the profile will undergo training on its application.

The Verkhovna Rada adopted in the first reading a draft law on the Cyber Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which defines their legal status and principles of activity. Cyber reservists – civilian specialists without the status of military personnel – will be able to join the Cyber Forces.
