Ukraine's New Cyber Defense Tactic

Ukraine has suffered from an insidious disinformation campaign by Russian operatives and hopes that its deal with NWO will enable it to anticipate major changes and combat digital attacks. The Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security of Ukraine is at ground central of defending Ukraine against a global misinformation war. With this deal, Ukraine is upping its cybersecurity game.

The partnership markets NWO’s entry in the government and national security sectors. OODA, which helps clients identify, manage and respond to global risks and uncertainties while exploring emerging opportunities and developing robust and adaptive strategies for the future, is assisting to triangulate the strategy.

What the Partnership Offers

In brief, here’s what the parties bring to the table:

  • NWO’s technology can anticipate major changes in micro-trends, before they occur, providing companies with the critical insights needed to compete in changing ecosystems.
  • OODA specializes in global security, technology and intelligence issues. OODA services include technology and cybersecurity consulting, M&A advisory and due diligence. The firm also operates a global research team and expert network at OODAloop.com.

Mykola Balaban, deputy head of the Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security, described NWO.ai's cyberwar advantage:

"Russia has dedicated vast resources to distort the information space and help achieve its military and geopolitical goals. Part of the strategy is to flood the world with misinformation to confuse citizens as well as business and government leaders. NWO.ai's platform is powerful, but also very user friendly, that's a rare and potent combination that makes our job easier. The technology has already proven to be helpful in our war efforts."

Sourav Goswami, co-founder of NWO.ai added:

"Now is not the time for any ambiguity and it is well known that aggressors cannot live with the truth. We're proud to do our part to help promote the facts and make sure that the world knows exactly what is going on. Sitting on the sidelines simply is not an option in such times of increasing global tensions."
