🦾The FENEK team, according to the decision of the jury of the large-scale technological hackathon "MACHINE OFFENSE 2.0", which took place in early December 2024, became one of the winners of the challenge "Sensors and monitoring devices".  🛡️В Within the framework of the MilTech event organized by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the FENEK team presented its development - the FENEK sound-metric acoustic system, designed for acoustic monitoring, acoustic direction finding and sound reconnaissance, including airborne acoustic reconnaissance of the environment. 🦾 In the context of the enemy's constant use of a wide range of types of air threats, the hackathon's expert mentors from the Defense Forces noted the relevance of this development for detecting air targets, determining their directions of movement and tracking targets in real time. The obvious advantage of the FENEK system equipment over other sensors is its passivity (the equipment does not emit radio waves and cannot be detected by enemy technical intelligence and, accordingly, suppressed by electronic warfare). The ☝️Участь Hackathon provided the FENEK team with an opportunity to announce its development to the general public, to generate interest among potential Ukrainian and international customers and military users. The team received confirmation that they are on the right track and have sufficient potential to implement and scale their development. 🔗 Read more about the hackathon - https://bit.ly/4foBq5N

👨💻 Today's objective needs of the Defense Forces include optimizing troop management, speeding up decision-making, reducing unnecessary work for soldiers, and providing commanders with quick access to information. Ukraine seeks to achieve this through digitalization. 🛡️ However, with the introduction of digital solutions, the need to protect information is growing, and cryptographic security technologies are currently one of the most reliable and effective solutions. 🔗 Read about the digitalization of documents in the Ukrainian army and the latest secure e-solution from AUTOR LLC, which combines all documents of military personnel, in the material of the special project "Defending the Country" by Ekonomichna Pravda and Octava Defence at ⤵️ https://cutt.ly/Xeu7VQ10

🔄 Business Email Compromise can lead to significant losses. Criminals hack into business systems to gain access to information about their payment systems, then they trick employees into making payments to fake bank accounts instead of real ones. ☝️ Fake payment requests can be difficult to identify because they are almost identical to genuine requests. Attackers may make minor changes to email addresses, use malware, or send phishing emails to gain the victim's trust.  📈 This can lead to loss of funds and may take months to trace and recover payment amounts, if at all. ❗ Such a scam can happen very quickly, so it is extremely important for employees to be vigilant when processing payment requests and implement some of the following solutions to prevent Business Email Compromise: 🔸 A system for verifying counterparties and their details should be developed and implemented. It is good when the verification procedure uses telephone, video or personal checks. 🔸The process of processing payment requests should be followed regardless of the initiator of the request. Even if the CFO writes "urgently pay this invoice", all necessary procedures must be followed. 🔸Pay attention to the details of the request: unusual counterparty email address, new payment details, unexpected amount, etc. In such cases, it is worth conducting additional checks with the counterparty 🔸Take care of protecting your users' credentials: strong passwords plus multifactor authentication (MFA) 🔸Effective software: firewalls, antiviruses, and anti-malware tools will make it harder for cybercriminals to target victims. 🔗 To learn more about cybersecurity for your business and the latest solutions to counteract cybercriminals, you can visit https://lnkd.in/eav4_c9A and order a professional consultation from Octava Defence cybersecurity specialists.

In 2022, with the start of a full-scale invasion, Ukraine ranked 24th, ahead of Austria, Norway and Ireland, in the National Cybersecurity Index (NCSI), which assesses a country's cyber defense level according to various criteria and shows its readiness to combat cyber threats. As of the end of 2023, we were already in third place, because Ukraine has significantly improved its performance, for example, the level of military cyber defense. The evolution of this industry is in response to the increasing number of cyber incidents - it is impossible to "repel" all cyber attacks and sometimes we may experience only minor consequences of such interference, not global disruptions, because all organizations are now trying to provide themselves with at least minimal protection. But even minimal protection can cause high costs for maintaining a team and infrastructure, so the trend is moving towards outsourcing of cyber processes. Octava Defence provides services for continuous monitoring, investigation and rapid response to cyber threats, as well as outsourcing of routine monitoring of IT infrastructure and access to professional cyber analysts to implement investigation and response processes.
