  "account": "The Ukrainian government is developing a new Cybersecurity Strategy to address the growing threat of artificial intelligence and other cyber dangers, Secretary Ihor Klymenko announced. During a meeting of the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center, key challenges included the rapid advancement of AI and the state's need to detect and neutralize emerging threats promptly. The strategy will also focus on reinforcing cyber resilience, safeguarding critical infrastructure such as energy systems and military networks, combating cybercrime, and countering fraud. Notably, Russia has intensified its cyberattacks, increasingly utilizing AI tools and coordinating cyber strikes with missile and drone assaults. Despite a significant rise in cyberattacks since 2022, critical incidents have dropped by more than 98%. Ukraine currently holds the 19th position in the National Cyber Security Index (NCSI). The strategy outlines specific measures, including training specialists, developing necessary infrastructure, and establishing protocols for early threat detection and neutralization. Officials from various ministries and agencies, including the Security Service, Defense Ministry, and Digital Transformation Ministry, participated in the discussions. The proposals will be considered further at a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, with the ultimate goal of building a cybersecurity system that anticipates both current and future threats.",
