Kyiv Polytechnic expands cooperation in cybersecurity
A delegation of the Nihon Cyber Defence company (NCD), led by CEO Cartan Joseph McLaughlin, visited the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. NCD takes a keen interest in collaborating with Kyiv Polytechnic, which flaunts its solid scientific schools in the domains of cyber security, artificial intelligence and IT in general, the more so as university’s student teams have achieved striking results in international Capture the Flag competitions.
The university administration and representatives of the Institute of Physics and Technology (https://t.me/dekanat_fti) participated in the meeting with the NCD delegation to discuss potential areas of cooperation. Among them were cybersecurity and the defence of critical infrastructure; support for projects on the recovery and reconstruction of critical infrastructure; and joint efforts to counter information threats including information manipulation and interference by foreign actors.
In addition, they considered other potential points for collaboration, including R&D projects with Japanese universities; as well as scholarship programmes for Ukrainian students.
The next step is to finalise the relevant agreements and to define the concrete formats of cooperation.
Headquartered in Tokyo, NCD is a global cyber security company protecting and supporting critical national infrastructure, governments, large organisations and small, medium enterprises from the increasing impact of debilitating cyber-attacks, which continue to increase in frequency and complexity.
