Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, specialists of the SBU Cybersecurity Department have neutralized more than 14,000 large-scale cyberattacks and cyber incidents targeting the resources of central government bodies and critical infrastructure of our state.
As reported by the Security Service of Ukraine, this was stated by the Head of the SSU Cybersecurity Department, Volodymyr Karastelov, in the documentary film “Cyber Shield of Ukraine”.
It is noted that the DCIB systematically protects Ukraine’s information and digital security under wartime conditions.
“The DCIB confronts the enemy on several fronts simultaneously. First, this is countering specialized units of the Russian Federation and hacker groups affiliated with them. They regularly attack Ukraine, and during the full-scale invasion the SSU has repelled more than 14,000 such attempts.
Second, we actively counter the enemy in the information environment, where we neutralize so-called IPSOs (information and psychological operations) that Russia actively conducts both against Ukraine and partner states”, — Volodymyr Karastelov noted.
According to the head of the Cybersecurity Department, in 2025 SSU cyber specialists repelled more than 3,000 enemy cyberattacks on Ukrainian systems.
It was established that the vast majority of Russian attacks aimed either to destroy digital services or to destabilize the operations of strategically important enterprises in the energy, transport, and defense sectors.
In the documentary film “Cyber Shield of Ukraine”, SSU specialists revealed how they counter intrusions and blocking of important military and government networks by the enemy, repel DDoS attacks, phishing campaigns, and counter cyber espionage and digital terrorism.
“It is important that we are not only defending ourselves. The SSU and our brothers-in-arms from the Defense Forces conduct systematic proactive operations in the enemy’s digital space. Ukraine strikes the enemy very painfully, but for now we cannot disclose details. It is important to know that the DCIB of the SSU is doing everything to protect the information and digital space of our state”, — Volodymyr Karastelov concluded.
