Kyiv creates IT battalion – Deputy KCSA head
In Kyiv, an IT battalion, called the "Center for Protection and Monitoring of Digital Systems of Kyiv," has been officially formed, according to the head of digital transformation of Kyiv and Kyiv City State Administration Deputy Head Petro Olenych.
"Although officially this is the start of the work of the IT battalion, in fact, it is the consolidation of the first achievements. A month in 24/7 mode, it's time to formalize the activity. From the first minutes of the war, the team has been taking a hit on the digital and information front. Today Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko approved the formation of the center," Olenych said on Telegram on Friday.
The functions of the Kyiv IT battalion include supporting and protecting vital digital services of the capital from cyberattacks, organizing the interaction of critical enterprises of the city for the stable operation of IT services, adapting the Kyiv Digital application to wartime conditions and coordinating digital systems that will be hosted on cloud services outside the country.
