The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to strengthen protection against cyber threats. To this end, by order No. 692/nm, the Industry Security Profile was approved – a document that defines the rules for protecting information systems that process open, confidential or official information.
The profile establishes uniform minimum requirements for cyber protection of systems used in the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the State Special Transport Service. It was developed in accordance with international standards and current legislation of Ukraine, taking into account the specifics of the defense sector.
“Uniform rules for cyber protection will allow us to more effectively protect our information resources and accelerate the construction and implementation of new services,” — said Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defense for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitalization.
The main goal of the document is to introduce a unified approach to information protection, increase the level of cybersecurity and simplify the assessment of systems’ compliance with security requirements. The profile contains provisions on access control, data protection, information security monitoring, as well as recommendations for the implementation of administrative and technical measures. All units that will work with this profile will undergo appropriate training on its practical application.
The industry security profile was developed in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 712 dated June 18, 2025. Its requirements are mandatory for all information systems that process open, confidential or official information, with the exception of automated systems of class “1”.
