Russian cyber operations are synchronised with missile strikes. Physically hit a power plant, then deploy malware to prevent recovery and maximise panic. He calls it "cyber-artillery."

His core argument: this is the first war in history where cyberspace is not a sideline, but a prerequisite for survival.

The Sidechannel: "Victor Zhora, the former architect of Ukraine's digital defence, now a soldier near the front line, delivered one of the most grounded perspectives on modern warfare. ⬇️

According to feedback, the arrival of glide bombs (KABs) nearby—which can be heard in the recording—made quite an impression on the audience of about 1,500 people.

I’ll share the video link in the next post.

I also discussed Ukraine’s experience in countering cyber aggression, as well as what our European partners should do to properly prepare for the almost inevitable hybrid war.

In it, I spoke about cyberattacks on critical infrastructure — particularly energy and communications — about the recent attack on the Polish power system, about submarine cables, cyber-physical threats, digital sovereignty, and the continuity-by-design approach.

At the end of last year, I was honoured by the invitation to deliver a keynote speech at Denmark’s largest cybersecurity conference, V2 Security.

Understanding that during a combat mission it would likely be impossible for me to get in touch, I recorded the talk in advance.

Former Ukrainian cyber-chief: This is what the EU can learn about digital sovereignty from the war in Ukraine | The Resilient Digital sovereignty is one of the key principles enshrined in the Berlin Declaration on Digital Society and Value-Based Digital Government back in 2020. Its priority was reaffirmed in the Declaration ...

While I was on a combat mission, The Resilient kindly published my essay "This is what the EU can learn about digital sovereignty from the war in Ukraine".

My first experience of hosting a TV show on eQtv. My debut esteemed guest is Jari Kickbusch, a Danish journalist and researcher, who shared a lot of insights about cybersecurity in Denmark. On air tomorrow morning at 01:57 UTC or next week, so it makes sense to stay tuned!

This week, it will be on air on Friday, June 27 at 05:21 UTC and Sunday, June 29 at 05:26 UTC.

Our third talk on cyber(in)security with Alexander Gluschenko is out on eQtv.

In this episode we talk about russian cyber actors, the latest cyber operations and their tools, the challenges for Europe and NATO, the NIS2 directive, Law 4336-IХ and, of course, AI.

Happy to attend ISS World Europe 2025 in Prague last week. The purpose of meetings with friends and colleagues there is to find advanced technological solutions that strengthen the security and defense sector and bring our Victory closer.

Thank you! #HeroyamSlava

I was happy to join the presentation of our first public report at the ICE Task Force analytical center I've joined last year and the SSSCIP of Ukraine “War and Cyber: Three Years of Struggle and Lessons for Global Security” last Friday.
Links to the report and video are in the comments.

Putin's Attacks on Ukraine Rise 70%, With Little Effect Russia's cyberattacks on Ukraine have increased dramatically, targeting the country's government and defense infrastructure.

Great mix of my quotes from the recent interview in Tel Aviv and excerpts from the latest CERT_UA H2’2024 report. Thank you, Nate!

When a social network is asking what's happening I would recall December 2016 and serious issues in the transportation industry of Ukraine. Waiting for the official confirmation.

Russia Is Targeting Ukrainian Soldiers’ Signal Accounts, Google Warns Google says Russia increased its targeting of encrypted apps like Signal as Ukraine ramped up its counteroffensive.

NEW - Google researchers detail the various ways in which Russia is targeting Ukrainian military Signal accounts.

Includes attacks via QR code (Qishing) and some sneaky phishing mimicking an artillery software used by Ukraine.

Signal updates to address.

One interesting aspect here:

Russia's infamous Sandworm hacking group has been working with Russian soldiers in Ukraine to grab devices from the battlefield and divert the Signal messages back to them.

Just my two cents on USAID’s role in Ukraine’s cyber resilience. Thank you, @thomasbrewster.bsky.social

I was hoping to hear the word "Ukraine" in the speech. Not this time. Hopefully not with words but with deeds.
