"UK Reveals GBP 6 Million Cybersecurity Support Package to Ukraine"

UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly revealed that the UK provided Ukraine with a GBP 6.35 million support package to help protect its critical national infrastructure and vital public services from cyberattacks. The UK's 'Ukraine Cyber Program' was activated shortly after Putin's invasion in February to counter increased Russian cyberattacks. In order to protect its operational security, the program has not been made public until now. Using the expertise of leading cybersecurity providers, the program has provided incident response support to entities of the Ukrainian government, protecting them from destructive cyberattacks such as Industroyer2. This prevents malicious actors from gaining access to critical information relevant to the war effort. In addition, the program has limited attacker access to critical networks and assisted Ukraine in hardening its critical infrastructure against future attacks. Furthermore, the UK has provided frontline cybersecurity hardware and software, such as firewalls to prevent attacks from taking hold, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) protection to ensure Ukrainian citizens can continue to access critical information, and forensic capabilities to allow Ukrainian analysts to fully understand the compromise of systems. This article continues to discuss the UK's Ukraine Cyber Program.
