Trustify has been formally recognised by Ukraine for its pivotal role in protecting the nation’s digital infrastructure during the ongoing war with Russia. A letter of thanks from Oleksii Vyskub, Ukraine’s First Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, highlighted the significant impact of Trustify’s efforts in safeguarding key government domains and services.
Trustify has successfully encrypted all web domains associated with the Ukrainian government and 60 of its agencies. This work has been instrumental in minimising the risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches during a period of intense conflict.
Escalating cyber threats amidst conflict
Trustify revealed that since the start of the war, cyber-attacks on Ukraine’s web infrastructure have surged by more than 300 per cent, with Russian forces employing cyber warfare as part of a broader strategy to destabilise the country. By implementing cutting-edge security measures, Trustify has helped Ukraine resist these sustained digital offensives.
In his letter, Mr Vyskub acknowledged Trustify’s contribution, stating:
“Your generous support in providing SSL certificates for Ukrainian State domains is highly valued by us… I truly believe that your support to Ukraine in protecting our governmental websites and online citizen services from attacks is an important contribution to our future victory over Russia. We have been dealing with Trustify since 2019 and greatly value your input and support in keeping Ukraine safe from data breach.”
Recognition for unsung heroes
Alistair Murray, founder of Trustify, described receiving the letter as a milestone moment for the company. He commented:
“When we started working with the government in Kyiv, we did not think war of this nature would be taking place right now. When cybersecurity works, nothing happens—and while we are delighted with the outcome, there is little by way of celebration or noise.
“To get such vocal recognition from a senior politician of a country at war is a big moment. It’s something that has really energised our teams of coders and technical experts, who are so often the unsung heroes. Playing even a small part in countering such a vicious and sustained attack is a real privilege for us.”
Trustify’s work with Ukraine further demonstrates its commitment to providing robust and innovative solutions in even the most challenging circumstances.
