On March 19, 2020, the city of Kyiv will host the Cyberspace Strategy in Action, Ukraine's major executive conference in cybersecurity.

In a connected digital world, no one can independently overcome challenges emerging in the cyberspace and affecting the majority of businesses. The goal of the conference is to consolidate key players from public agencies, private sector, and the academic community to jointly develop a safe cyberspace ecosystem in Ukraine and fight cybercrime.

 

Cyberspace Strategies in Action is the first step in this cooperation and a platform to meet and share experiences in the strategic areas of cybersecurity. Our speakers are Ukrainian and international experts, as well as C-level executives at influential businesses and public agencies.

 

The following cases of strategic vision and cooperation in cybersecurity are among key discussion topics and presentations:

Andriy Kobolev, Chairman of the Board, NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, will tell about cybersecurity practices and strategies at the critical infrastructure enterprise.

Volodymyr Pavelko, co-founder and CEO, Global Cyber Cooperative Center (GCCC - GC3), will present the concept of an independent integration platform for the Ukrainian cybercommunity.

We will also discuss case studies and new approaches to business development, i.e. how cybersecurity influences the effectiveness, and what threats are possible.
