Industrial and agricultural areas are among the budget-forming sectors of Ukraine’s economy. At the same time, the cyber component in these fields is extremely important being the key to their stable functioning. Neglecting the principles of cyber defense in this case can lead to negative economic consequences for the entire region and the country as a whole. 

Harmonized cooperation, coordination and a clear understanding of the algorithms for countering cyber threats in various industries are a solid foundation for strengthening the national cybersecurity system. These issues will be discussed by leading Ukrainian and international experts at the regional meeting of the Cluster in Poltava. 

The event is a joint effort of the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and Representation of U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation in Ukraine, CRDF Global.
