Section 3. NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY SYSTEM: BUILDING PRINCIPLES
Ukraine seeks to create the most open, free, stable and secure cyberspace, which takes into
account human rights and freedoms, supports social, political and economic development.
Implementing the Cyber Security Strategy of Ukraine for 2016 - 2020, the state was able to
form the core of the national cyber security system. Ukraine has increased the potential that
allows for further development of the national cybersecurity system on the basis of
deterrence, cyber resilience, and interaction.
To achieve that, Ukraine:
● will strengthen the capabilities of the national cybersecurity system to prevent
armed aggression against Ukraine in cyberspace or with its use, neutralize
intelligence and subversive activities, minimize the threat of cybercrime and
cyberterrorism (deterrence);
● will be able to quickly adapt to internal and external threats in cyberspace, will
support the sustainable functioning of the national information infrastructure,
especially critical information infrastructure (cyber resilience);
● will ensure the development of communication, coordination and partnership
between cybersecurity actors at the national level, the development of strategic
relations in the field of cybersecurity with key foreign partners, especially with the
European Union and NATO and their member states, cooperation in this field with
other states and international organizations based on the national interests of
Ukraine (interaction).
Building a national cybersecurity system on such a basis will make it possible to extend the
proposed and recommended actions to all sectors of the economy and areas of activity.
To this end, the state will involve a wide range of cybersecurity actors, including business
entities, in addition to the main actors of the national cybersecurity system, on which it
relied at the initial stage of formation of the national cybersecurity system, in solving tasks
related to cybersecurity on a national scale. public associations and individual citizens of
Ukraine.
The National Cybersecurity Coordination Center will play a key unifying and coordinating
role in this process.
The state will build a national cybersecurity system based on:
● comprehensive understanding and analysis of the digital environment, global trends
in the cybersecurity environment (while taking into account the specifics of our
country), strict protection of Ukraine's national interests in the field of cybersecurity;
● permanence of measures to improve legislation in the field of cybersecurity and
promptness of actions to update it in accordance with changing security conditions;
● focus on society, which will contribute to its economic and social growth;
● using the principle of minimum sufficiency of the role of the state in the processes of
development and security of cyberspace, setting requirements (rules, guidelines) for
the safe use of the Internet;
