A recent cyberattack on a state-owned company made me reflect on how counterproductive public shaming is when it comes to national cybersecurity. I’ve seen waves of criticism on social media, blaming the organization for poor protection — but let’s be honest: cyberattacks can hit anyone. No company or system is fully immune, especially in wartime. And the enemy we face is shared. Criticizing victims doesn’t help. What we need is to learn from incidents, share cybersecurity expertise with public institutions, and elevate security to a strategic level to build resilience across all sectors. As a cybersecurity entrepreneur and practitioner, I want to share the three most practical recommendations for business leaders to improve their organization’s cyber readiness. Save this list — it’s something to return to and build on. 1. Integrate Security Expertise at the Executive Level Cybersecurity used to be the domain of CISOs and IT. Today, it’s a core business risk like financial risk. Executives — CEOs, CFOs, and Boards — are now directly accountable. Making cybersecurity a leadership priority helps organizations act proactively and embed security into strategic decisions, not just technical ones. In 2022, the U.S. SEC proposed requiring public companies to have a cybersecurity expert on the board. The final rule dropped that mandate, but companies must still disclose their leadership’s cyber expertise. This reflects a broader shift — cyber is now a compliance issue, not just an operational one. 2. Develop Organization-Wide Cybersecurity Capabilities As threats become more AI-driven and socially engineered, cybersecurity can’t stay siloed in IT. It must involve the whole organization — employees, partners, even customers. Managing cyber risk now demands cross-functional collaboration: legal, compliance, HR, comms, finance, supply chain. Awareness training should be tailored to roles and real scenarios. Stanford research shows that 88% of breaches are caused by human error. Regular training prepares teams to act fast and stay focused when every second matters. 3. Prepare Clear Incident Response Protocols During an attack, there’s no time to plan. You need a ready-to-run protocol, covering communication, containment, and recovery. Build a response team that includes technical, legal, comms, and executive leads. This group must coordinate actions in the first critical hours. Clear protocols reduce panic and keep teams focused under pressure. At CyberUnit.Tech, we help businesses build lasting cyber readiness through hands-on training, strategic guidance, response planning, and full-scope audits. Our mission is to make cybersecurity clear and practical for everyone, and to help teams build a culture where security informs daily decisions — not just emergency responses. Cybersecurity is no longer just technical. It must shape leadership and be embedded into how every modern organization operates — public or private.

One week after Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum 2025, and it’s time to reflect. I’m genuinely proud of what the Cyber Unit Technologies - CyberUnit.Tech / Institute of Cyber Warfare Research team and our partners have accomplished - bringing together cybersecurity leaders, government officials, and private sector experts in one place to discuss and tackle the most pressing cyber challenges. Some key highlights: ?? Private-public partnership is the only way forward. The forum united experts from global cybersecurity agencies, leading companies, and research institutions to exchange knowledge and discuss how innovation and strategic partnerships can power up national and business cyber resilience. ?? New cyber threats are evolving fast. The forum discussions covered defending critical infrastructure and state institutions in cyberspace, emerging tech risks, hybrid threats, and the critical need for global deterrence. Cyber resilience is just as crucial for businesses — hybrid cyberattacks are not limited to state targets, and companies must learn to adapt to an evolving threat landscape. ?? Practical cybersecurity in action is key. We hosted two special side events - KICRF 2025 CTF and DOT-Chain Bug Bash, where cybersecurity professionals worked on real-world security challenges, identifying vulnerabilities and strengthening critical systems. Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum is a unique event in Ukraine. Hosting it in the middle of wartime proves one thing - cybersecurity cooperation is fundamental to building cyber resilience at both national and business levels. Ukraine’s experience serves as a real-world case study, offering valuable lessons for other countries. See you next year!

The Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum 2025 has begun On March 11, Kyiv hosts the International Cyber Resilience Forum 2025, themed “Defending Democracy”. The event brings together Ukrainian and international representatives from the public sector, business, the cyber community, technology companies, and leading industry experts to discuss key cybersecurity challenges. The event was opened by Oleksandr Lytvynenko, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, who, in his speech, emphasized that modern information and cyber technologies not only unlock limitless opportunities but also present complex challenges and threats. Mastery of these technologies defines not only a state's technological capability but also its security, resilience, and strategic role on the global stage. ?Strengthening cyber resilience is of utmost importance—the ability of information systems to operate in complex and extremely challenging security environments, to restore their resources even under constraints, and to withstand active adversarial opposition. Our priority must be to foster innovation, support startups, and enhance the regulatory landscape to bolster both economic and digital security, ensuring a strong and legal position in the global technological arena,? – stated the NSDC Secretary.

Cyber Unit Technologies - CyberUnit.Tech team acted as a technology partner at the international cybersecurity cluster organized by the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center (NCSCC) with the support of CRDF Global This was our first offline event, bringing together high-level official representatives from eight countries. For decision-makers in cybersecurity institutions, we developed tailored interactive TTX (tabletop exercise) scenarios designed to practice coordination in response to cyberattacks. Ukrainian experts led these exercises, taking on leadership and mentoring roles. For technical specialists, we organized a workshop competition on the UnitRange platform, a Ukrainian-developed solution. The attack scenarios, modeled on tactics used by the Russian Federation, were as close to real-world conditions as possible. These exercises are of strategic importance for building a cyber coalition and raising awareness about threats that are, unfortunately, not always evident to all participating nations. Some countries maintain a stance of “neutrality,” failing to fully grasp the scale of the threats posed by the Russian Federation. Only by demonstrating these real dangers can their perspectives on the ongoing war be shifted. Serhii Demediuk Nataliya Tkachuk Mykhailo (Misha) Verych Andrii Nikitenko Rostyslav Kondryk
