Ukraine got cyber help from perhaps some unexpected U.S. sources in the lead-up to the Russian invasion, the leader of Ukraine’s ministry of digital transformation said Thursday.said in a visit to The Washington Post.
“We ended up getting a lot of information about cyberattack vectors and other related information from the media,” Fedorov said through an interpreter. “And that is how we were able to prevent attacks on our energy infrastructure back in December.”Partially in response to the articles they read, Ukrainian officials established so-called “red teams,” which simulates enemy attackers to probe for weaknesses, he said.
Another source of help? Moving important data into the cloud two weeks before the war, he said. As Fedorov commented after an appearance at an Amazon Web Services conference Thursday, “The cloud can’t be destroyed by missiles.” Cloud services became a life-saver for our state registries and operation of the economy. I mean — you can’t destroy cloud with a missile.
