Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday the organization had provided cybersecurity assistance to Ukraine, too,The promised help hasn’t been enough, said Robert Lee, a former National Security Agency analyst, now founder and CEO of U.S.-based cybersecurity company Dragos. He said that whilemay have been useful for buying defensive technology, Western allies could have provided significantly more training to protect critical systems in Ukraine.
Lee raised concerns about lack of on-the-ground training support for security of “operation technology” —computing systems that control industrial machines. It was only in 2015 and 2016 that cyberattacks, believed to have been carried out by a Russian intelligence group dubbed Sandworm, took down Ukraine’s power grid.
Ukraine, however, has done a lot of commendable work on its cyber security over the past few years, especially in its defense systems, said Ciaran Martin, former chief of the GCHQ’s NCSC, now a professor of practice at a public policy and government body at the University of Oxford.
