However, the rapid development will raise the problem of ensuring the security of the critical information infrastructure. Therefore, it is necessary to build a reliable and secure ecosystem as the foundation for digitization.

Deputy Minister Shpak affirmed that this is the “Information Security Front” and must manage this issue from the top.
