The meeting was attended by leading experts in cyber security
In an atmosphere of expertise, openness and a common will to create a new chapter in relations with Ukraine, Ukrainian representatives also met with representatives of Czech authorities, institutions and initiatives in Brno. The invitation was accepted by experts from the National Cyber and Information Security Agency, Masaryk University, CSIRT-MU, CyberSecurityHubcz and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. They spoke about the possibilities of strategic partnership, the formation of the "Czech Republic - Ukraine" Committee and the overall setting of relations.
The expert panel also included Jakub Čegan, head of the CyberRangecz expert team, which is dedicated to training professionals in the field of cybersecurity. Its main mission is to increase the preparedness and resilience of European organisations to current and future cyber threats. It also operates the CyberRangecz Platform, which hosts realistic security exercises. These exercises allow experts to train in detecting, preventing and responding to cyber attacks in an environment simulating real incidents.
Memorandums of Cooperation
The agreement to establish four new Czech-Ukrainian memorandums of cooperation has been reached, encompassing state institutions for cybersecurity, academic institutions, and cluster organizations. These will be followed by specific collaboration initiatives, negotiated during the meetings in Brno between the Ukrainian delegation and CyberSecurityHubcz and Masaryk University, the Brno University of Technology, and representatives of the Brno-based company GreyCortex, whose headquarters were visited by the delegation during their stay in Brno.
The main organizers of the conference were CyberSecurityHubcz and the association CzechInno, with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The international conference Cybersecurity Twister Czechia & Ukraine presented intriguing opportunities for collaboration between the Czech Republic and Ukraine in the field of cybersecurity. The proposals outlined during the presentations described specific pathways toward successful cooperation.
