"Cyber defense specialists of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine protect information and communication systems and networks from cyber attacks. The new batch of equipment will improve the protection of our networks and contribute to the implementation of a number of information systems -- this is one of our priorities," said Deputy Minister of Defense for Digital Transformations, Digital Development and Digitalization Kateryna Chernohorenko.
