The State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine presented the latest technical solutions for securing state institutions from DDoS attacks, thanks to cooperation with leading companies and USAID support.
State sector cyber security
DDoS protection
Ukrainian state special service of communication and information protection demonstrated innovative software products and service support provided by Radware and Akamai Technologies. These technologies are deployed in the State Center for Cyber Protection to detect and block various cyber threats, as well as improve monitoring and analysis of network traffic.
Cooperation with USAID
Assistance in the implementation of these technological solutions was provided by the USAID agency through its project "Cyber security of critical infrastructure of Ukraine". Ann Hopper, Director of the Bureau of Democracy and Governance of the USAID Mission in Ukraine, emphasized that cyber security is an integral component for ensuring uninterrupted provision of government services to Ukrainians.
Protection of state resources
USAID supported State Special Communications in improving technical capabilities to protect 70 state Internet resources and web services from DDoS attacks. In addition, it is planned to integrate another 170 resources into the Traffic Clearing Center of the State Special Communications Service, ensuring their reliable protection.
Actual cyber threats
It is worth noting that civil servants, military and representatives of defense enterprises face targeted cyber attacks. Attackers spread malware through the Signal messenger.

This is a really important initiative to protect government institutions from cyber attacks. 🇺🇦 DDoS attacks can cause serious damage to government resources and disrupt citizens' access to critical services.

Radware and Akamai's solutions will definitely help better detect and block threats. However, I caution against over-trusting commercial providers. They can be a source of data leaks or vulnerabilities. 🤔
Франсуа
Totally agree, Wolfgang! However, we are talking about critical infrastructure, so you can't skimp on cyber security. 💻 The main thing is to carefully check suppliers and control processes.
Григорій
So I say that all these new technologies are just a waste of money! 😤 During my time, state bodies did not even have a hint of cyber attacks. No DDoS and other isms for you!
Марта
Grigory, but time does not stand still. 🕰️ Today, almost all services have been transferred online, so you need to keep up with the times and ensure reliable protection against the latest cyber threats.
Хуан
Of course, cooperation with USAID and the integration of 170 state resources into the Traffic Clearing Center of the State Special Communications is the right step. ⚡ Centralized monitoring and analysis will significantly increase the level of cyber security.
Ananstazja
I agree with Juan. 👍 I also want to note the importance of constant updating and modernization of protection systems. Criminals do not sit idly by, so the state must be one step ahead.

Let's not forget about insider threats. 👨💻 Unfortunately, targeted attacks on civil servants are not uncommon. It is important to strengthen cybersecurity education and culture among staff.
