"Former Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba, speaking at Infosecurity Europe, stressed the need for preparation, resilience, and self-reliance in cybersecurity. He cited the KyivStar outage where rapid remediation followed a Russian hack in December 2023, and warned that Russian CRM software used by small Ukrainian businesses could be weaponized by adversaries. Kuleba argued that resilience is the ability to keep repairing as destruction becomes normal."
