Cybersecurity Readiness in Ukrainian Public Authorities

The project increased the readiness of Ukrainian government authorities to assess the security of governmental information systems and develop action plans for preventing attacks.

The project delivered for public organisations guidelines on planning and conducting information security testing, and assessments, analysing findings and developing mitigation strategies.

The guidelines provided practical recommendations for designing, implementing, and maintaining technical information relating to security testing and assessment processes and procedures.

Based on the developed guidelines project piloted the security assessments and penetration tests of the mission-critical systems of public authorities. As a result of the penetration tests, critical information system owners and/or service providers made action plans to prevent attacks.
