Ukraine presented a new digital recovery strategy worth $588 billion
The Economic Security Council of Ukraine developed a digital recovery strategy for the state, which envisions investments of $588 billion over the next decade. This will help modernize the infrastructure, making it more resilient to external threats.
The document includes a model of trusted integration, which will ensure Ukraine’s control over state data while using global cloud services. The solution is a response to the challenges posed by the full-scale invasion, which made Ukrainian data centers vulnerable to Russian attacks and power outages.
Thanks to distributed international infrastructure, data storage abroad, it was possible to ensure the functioning of state registries, payment of pensions, and provision of administrative services over the past two years. In the new integration model, Ukraine retains full control over the digital infrastructure, involving national, European, and global clouds.
The basis of security will consist of strict Ukrainian encryption rules and access control. Systems with a high level of risk, such as defense and intelligence, will remain in national environments, while others, including educational ones, will have the opportunity to use the services of qualified providers.
The Economic Security Council of Ukraine, established in 2021, functions as an independent institution, countering security threats to Ukraine and its partners. It actively studies Russia’s methods of warfare in military, economic, political, and cyber dimensions.
