NCCC launches cooperation with the National Cyber Security Centre of the Netherlands to strengthen collective cyber resilience

The National Coordination Centre for Cybersecurity (NCCC) and the National Centre for Cybersecurity of the Netherlands (NCSC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the ONE Conference held in The Hague (Netherlands). This agreement is an important step in the development of cooperation between the two countries to jointly combat cyber threats and share important knowledge and experience in the field of cybersecurity.

The signing of this Memorandum confirms the common intentions of Ukraine and the Netherlands to strengthen cyber resilience by deepening cooperation. Given the growing cyber threats and challenges of hybrid warfare, both countries are consolidating efforts to ensure a high level of security.

Serhiy Demediuk, Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, stressed the important role of cybersecurity in defending Ukraine against ongoing Russian aggression: ‘Cybersecurity has become one of the fronts in our struggle for sovereignty and future. Ukraine is constantly defending itself against incessant cyberattacks that accompany physical attacks on our country, and our experience in this area is unprecedented. We are ready to share this knowledge with our partner countries, because only through cooperation can we effectively counter global threats.

The Dutch government has consistently supported Ukraine, recognising that modern warfare includes both physical and cyber attacks. Furthermore, this cooperation is an important extension of the bilateral security agreement that the Netherlands has with Ukraine.

‘We are sincerely grateful to the Netherlands for their unwavering support in these difficult times. Their cooperation reflects a deep commitment to Ukraine and strengthens our country's cyber resilience,’ said Sergiy Demediuk.

This agreement reflects a shared commitment to improving cybersecurity through the exchange of experience, the implementation of joint initiatives and ongoing cooperation between Ukraine and the Netherlands.
