Cybersecurity risks in the U.S. share a lot of similarities with risks in most of the developed world. However, what kind of differences do other countries experience in comparison to the United States? I want to explore how cybersecurity risks in Ukraine differ from those in the United States. To start, Ukraine has some geopolitical issues that the U.S. does not have, that being neighbors to Russia. For years prior to the current war in Ukraine, Russia has waged cyber warfare against Ukraine as a weapon to keep it from leaning more and more to the West and by extension NATO. In 2015, Ukraine suffered a major cyberattack against its electrical infrastructure. Here we have one of the biggest differences in cybersecurity risks, infrastructure. Up till now Ukraine has been relying on a combination of degraded Soviet Union-era power infrastructure and more contemporary Russian equipment to supply it’s citizen with power. It is through this vulnerability that Russian hackers shut down Ukrainian power in western Ukraine for several hours. Due to close history the two countries have, constant threats and attacks are a mainstay in Ukraine. In comparison, the United States faces cybersecurity threats from many points of attack. This is primarily due to the United States influence across the world and how many enemies want to harm the country. The United States is also better equipped with more modern hardware than Ukraine overall. Corruption and sabotage is also a major threat in Ukraine as Russians for years have had the ability to integrate into Ukraine and help find vulnerabilities for the Russian government and hacker groups to use to bring down Ukrainian systems. The U.S. see’s sabotage and intrusion from the inside as residents are bribed from countries like China and Russia to steal secrets. Due to heightened security, the U.S. is better set to prevent internal caused sabotage to our infrastructure than Ukraine.
