SBU and more than 300 defense industry representatives strengthen cooperation to protect sensitive information under the “Forpost” program
The Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of more than 300 Ukrainian weapons manufacturers have agreed to strengthen cooperation to counter hostile intelligence services. Interaction will take place under the “Forpost” program, presented by the SBU’s Counterintelligence and Cybersecurity Departments. It is aimed at combating agent infiltration, insider and cyber threats at defense industry enterprises.
The “Forpost” program covers three key areas of protection. First and foremost, it focuses on countering deliberate insider activity, i.e., identifying individuals whom Russian intelligence services are trying to recruit or are already using for their purposes.
The initiative is also aimed at preventing inadvertent data leaks, when an employee unknowingly becomes a source of information for the enemy—for example, by disclosing sensitive information in interviews, industry events, or on social media.
A separate area of cooperation concerns strengthening the cybersecurity of defense enterprises. It foresees carrying out preventive measures to protect information systems, warning about current cyber threats, as well as SBU specialists’ assistance in restoring operations after hostile attacks and investigating such incidents.
The Security Service will provide enterprises with security recommendations and clear action algorithms in case threats are detected. The relevant instructions take into account the SBU’s advanced experience in countering the intelligence-sabotage activities of the Russian Federation’s security services.
Representatives of defense enterprises supported the Service’s initiative and expressed their readiness to join the program. Creating a direct communication channel with the SBU’s specialized units will enable manufacturers to receive professional assistance promptly if security threats are detected.
