According to the Ukraine Cybersecurity Market Review 2025, despite the full-scale war, Ukraine’s cybersecurity market remains one of the most resilient sectors of the digital economy. The market volume in 2024 stood at $138 million, and is projected to reach $209 million by 2029.
The fastest-growing segments are cloud security, endpoint protection, and network solutions. This aligns with global trends, but the Ukrainian market shows increased adoption rates of ready-made solutions in several segments due to staff shortages and the high level of cyber threats. The main development trends are:
Ukraine has already taken a number of important steps to harmonise its own legislation with European cybersecurity frameworks. Specifically, in 2025, the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Protection of Information and Cyber Protection of State Information Resources, Critical Information Infrastructure Objects” came into effect. This includes Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (CMU) Resolution No. 367 of 01.04.2025 on risk management at Category I critical infrastructure objects, and Resolution No. 712 of 18.06.2025 on the implementation of security profiles.
Ukraine’s European integration in the field of cybersecurity means not only cooperation but also the approximation of legislation to EU standards. The European NIS2 Directive sets high requirements for the cyber protection of critical infrastructure. Ukrainian legislation is currently undergoing a phased approximation to the requirements of NIS2; the fundamental acts were adopted in 2025, and the detailed implementation procedures (secondary legislation) are currently being finalised.
As a reminder, on 15 May 2025, Ukraine signed the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence — the world’s first international treaty in this domain. The document enshrines the principles that states must adhere to when developing legislation and using AI in the public sector, specifically:
Ukraine is already demonstrating unique strengths in the fields of cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) development. Our experience in countering Russian cyber aggression has become an unprecedented case study in global practice, and our digital state services are recognised as innovative even among EU countries. The powerful IT community, which unites business, the state, and the public sector, is capable of rapidly implementing new standards and adapting global technologies to the Ukrainian context.
For Ukraine, cybersecurity is not just about data protection, but also one of the foundations of European integration. Our priority is the synchronisation of legislation with EU standards, investment in our own solutions, and the development of human capital. We are systematically contributing to the European digital ecosystem and will continue this work so that Ukraine can be an active creator of Europe’s digital future.
stated Marta Kindrys, Director of the Advocacy and Development Centre for the IT Industry
The European integration course opens opportunities for attracting investment, creating new markets for Ukrainian AI and Cybersecurity solutions, and for active participation in the shaping of European policies.
Ukraine can become a source of innovation that strengthens Europe’s digital resilience. European integration is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to transform the accumulated experience into a competitive advantage on the global market. The systematic implementation of European norms will be the key to integration into the EU Digital Single Market, as well as a condition for future membership.
