Preparations for the 2027 forum are underway. Eastern Europe's largest cybersecurity event returns for its fourth edition.
What is KICRF
The Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum is an annual international platform for strategic dialogue on cybersecurity and cyber resilience. Governments, defense institutions, critical infrastructure operators, financial institutions, business, investors, startups, and academia meet here to share experience in countering cyber threats and agree on joint solutions.
Ukraine has unique experience of cyber defense during a full-scale war. The forum turns this experience into practical knowledge, partnerships, and solutions for Ukraine and its partner countries.
