On October 28–29, 2026, the training program “Digital Business and Its Security” took place in Kyiv and online. The Kyiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry held it on behalf of the Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development of the Kyiv City State Administration as part of the cybersecurity month. Andrii Shevtsov, Director of Information Security, represented S-byte at the event. He gave a talk titled “A cyber survival lesson: how to protect trading and manufacturing businesses and infrastructure during mass cyberattacks”.
About the event
The program covered practical tools for running a digital business and protecting it, based on international and Ukrainian experience. Speakers included representatives of SSSCIP, the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center, the cyber police, MPs, cybersecurity experts and business representatives. In addition, SSSCIP Head Oleksandr Potii welcomed the participants online.
A cyber survival lesson from S-byte
Andrii Shevtsov focused on what a company can do to protect itself today. He told the participants:
- about 5 urgent steps in cyber hygiene and replacing software from the aggressor state that a business can take without big costs or delays;
- about supply chain attacks, that is, how hackers break into large companies through small contractors that have access to their systems;
- about a roadmap of 6 clear steps to build turnkey security for a company: from an audit and network segmentation to round-the-clock SOC 24/7 support.
“Security is not a program you buy and forget. It is a route: from an audit to round-the-clock protection,” Andrii Shevtsov concluded.
Why it matters
Attacks on Ukrainian businesses are becoming massive, and attackers increasingly use artificial intelligence. At the same time, many trading and manufacturing companies have no security team of their own and do not know where to start. That is why S-byte prepared a practical, step-by-step approach for them instead of general advice.
