Bringing the ecosystem together.

The mission of the National Cybersecurity Association of Ukraine is to bring together the state, business, the expert community, researchers and technology companies to build a safe, resilient and open digital environment in Ukraine and around the world.

  • Public institutions

  • Researchers
  • Academia
  • Ethical hackers
  • AI developers
  • Media
  • Civil society

Through public-private collaboration, a growing industry ecosystem, knowledge sharing, joint initiatives and international partnerships, we help strengthen cyber resilience, the safe adoption of artificial intelligence, the response to information threats and trust in digital technologies.

Why Ukraine’s experience matters to the world.

What is a scenario elsewhere is experience in Ukraine.

  1. Security under real pressure

    For years Ukraine has worked through cyberattacks on energy, communications, public services and the media, alongside a full-scale war.

  2. Threats as daily practice

    Deepfakes, information operations and attacks on critical infrastructure are not a training scenario here, but everyday work.

  3. A contribution to international expertise

    The association connects Ukrainian specialists with international partners, so that experience of cyber resilience shapes international expertise: guidance, research and shared approaches.

Areas of cooperation.

The threats people and organisations face right now, from cloned voices to attacks on infrastructure. Each comes with plain explanations, practical steps and sources.
