The speaker Yanina Roy (Ph.D., head of the department of implementation and control of security processes of NEC "UkrEnergo") has raised issues of cyber objects of NEC "UkrEnergo", the introduction of hardware and software systems of industrial cyber defense system (Industrial Cyber Security System ) of international level. Also the integration of the IPS of Ukraine into the pan-European energy system ENTSO-E was discussed, which is one of the key strategic goals of Ukrenergo and will contribute to the synchronous operation of the Ukrainian energy system with ENTSO-E to improve the cyber resistance of the IPS of Ukraine and create opportunities to work on the energy market of Europe.

Roman Odarchenko (Ph.D., Professor of the National Aviation University, Chief Scientific Specialist of the State Research Institute for Cyber Security Technologies, SCSA-UA) spoke on "Security of cellular networks as part of the critical infrastructure of Ukraine". During his speech he discussed the directions of improvement of cybersecurity systems of cellular networks, the landscape of 5G cyberthreats, as well as the prospects and challenges of deploying 5G cellular networks as a critical infrastructure in Ukraine.

Andrey Pazyuk (PhD in Law, an expert in international law, digital transformation and cybersecurity) focused on the new European Union Solidarity Act in the cybersphere: prospects for Ukraine as well as other European Union regulations and directives that should be implemented to improve cyber resilience of critical facilities in Ukraine.

After the presentations a question and answer session was organized, where all participants of the round table discussed problematic issues and ways to improve the cyber resilience of critical facilities in Ukraine.

At the end of the event, Yevdokymenko M.O. (Ph.D., professor of the Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics, coordinator of the Project "European Experience to Enhance Resilience of Critical Facilities in Ukraine") announced the next activities of the Project, namely the Summer School'23 for students.
