Ukraine’s Security Service repels over 2,300 enemy cyberattacks in 2025

Ukrinform reports this, referring to the SSU.

The SSU conducted command-and-staff exercises aimed at countering cyberterrorism. In particular, SSU cyber specialists, together with colleagues from other sectors, practiced coordinated actions in the event of a large-scale cyberattack targeting critical infrastructure.

“The aggressor state constantly attacks our country in cyberspace. In 2025 alone, SSU specialists have repelled more than 2,300 enemy cyberattacks. We have made significant progress in strengthening cyber resilience and continue improving our capabilities,” said SSU Deputy Head, Brigadier General Serhii Naumiuk.

This was the first such cybersecurity event in Ukraine combining command-and-staff cyber exercises with panel discussions, where participants addressed modern cybersecurity challenges and effective response strategies.

The forum brought together representatives of the public and private sectors, the defense sphere, as well as the academic and expert community.

“Cyberthreats are persistent, as the enemy has evolved from local cyberattacks to complex campaigns with significant consequences for society. That is why these command-and-staff and tactical-specialized exercises are essential. They allow us to test the readiness of all systems to respond and to strengthen cooperation across sectors. Ukraine’s resilience tomorrow depends on our joint preparedness today,” summarized Volodymyr Karastelov, Head of the SSU Cybersecurity Department.

As reported, the Ministry of Defense has approved new cybersecurity standards for information systems.
