In May and June, the USAID RADA: Next Generation Program provided two training sessions for 4 employees of the Computer System Office of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to promote cybersecurity and improve the management of critical IT systems in the Parliament.
One of the training sessions was aimed at learning how to interact in the CISCO system. This course strengthened the VRU staff skills in establishing joint work of users. It will also facilitate to ensure more efficient administration and to provide Members of Parliament with a stable opportunity to participate in all types of meetings using videoconferencing technologies.
Another training session focused on strengthening cybersecurity of the Parliament's information systems and the use of CISCO products for this objective. The acquired skills will help the VRU employees to maintain the stable operation of the Parliament’s web resources, and thus their access to Ukrainians. It will also have a positive impact on the fast response to various cyber threats, which is crucial in a time of war.
The USAID RADA: Next Generation Program supports the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in its modernization, digitalization, and strengthening of cybersecurity, namely in the context of martial law. The program facilitates the development and implementation of innovative digital solutions to enable the Parliament to perform its functions effectively.
