The Subcommittee on Cybersecurity was established in the summer of 2024 on the base of Business Security and Protection Committee. The reasons for its creation include the current level of importance of technology integration into all spheres of life and the active phase of full-scale invasion. Cybersecurity is an integral and key element of a country’s overall security, and issues of information protection, cyber defense, and cyber resilience are becoming increasingly relevant. At the same time, the growth of regulatory initiatives in the field of cybersecurity in Ukraine, both at the national and sectoral levels, particularly in the context of Ukraine’s European integration movement, requires active business involvement in shaping effective and balanced policies.

The EBA Cybersecurity Subcommittee was established at the initiative of the participants of the Dialogue on Cybersecurity Program.

The Cybersecurity Dialogue Program is supported by the USAID Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Ukraine Activity in cooperation with the Aspen Institute Kyiv.

Priorities of the Subcommittee:
• Advocacy of regulatory legislative initiatives at the national and sectoral levels to implement best practices, establish transparent conditions for business and create incentives for the development of the cybersecurity sector.
• Serving as a platform for public-private dialogue, primarily on issues that may impact business activities in Ukraine, including service providers, product suppliers in the field of cybersecurity, or recipients of such services and products.
• Organizing private–private or private–public interaction among cybersecurity professionals in the private and public sectors, as well as cooperation with other business associations and industry groups.
