BDO in Ukraine at BDO Advisory Conference 2022

The agenda included issues of risk consulting, data privacy, expertise, cybersecurity, digital technologies, corporate finance, data analytics and cryptocurrencies, and ESG advisory services, confirming BDO's strategic goal to be the adviser of the future for clients.

This year, Andriy Borenkov, Head of Advisory BDO in Ukraine, was a speaker at BDO Advisory Conference with a report on “Cybersecurity during wartime”. About 7 months ago, russia made a full-scale invasion of Ukraine's cyberspace. The enemy tried to stop the operational activities of our country. The state ledgers and databases, the banking system and infrastructure facilities were attacked. But the russians failed, and Ukraine passed this massive test of strength and became one of the leaders in the field of military and defense technologies.

Currently, Ukraine can conduct offensive actions in cyberspace, thereby protecting itself, for example, using the international community support and even hacker groups, such as Anonymous. Of course, the local community itself is also a powerful unit: we are volunteers, both on the battlefield and in the cyberspace.
