The European Union opened a cyber lab in Kyiv to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine defend the army and Ukrainian cyber space against attacks of the Russian aggressor, according to a statement on the website of the European External Action Service as reported by Ukrinform.
“The EU has financed and delivered equipment for a cyber lab, security software and hardware to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as part of its ongoing support to Ukraine under the European Peace Facility. The cyber lab was unveiled in Kyiv on Friday,” reads the statement.
With this support, Ukraine can build and further develop the cyber defence capacities of its armed forces to detect intrusions to the information systems, deal with cyberattacks and strengthen their overall capacity in the cybersecurity area.
According to the EEAS, the cyber lab will provide training environment to test and strengthen the hands-on skills of military cyber defence professionals with realistic virtual scenarios and real-time simulations that help to identify, monitor and protect from future cyberattacks faster and more effectively.
As it was earlier reported, on December 15, 2021, the EU approved military assistance package worth EUR 31 million, including for the improvement of cyber defence capacity of the Ukrainian armed forces, under the European Peace Facility.
