Abstract

This article posits that the first approach to develop a culture of Cyber and Information Technology (IT) for Ukraine’s overall economic and strategic security should begin with the development and implementation of Cyber Financial Crimes Mitigation training for the senior managers and executives of Ukrainian enterprises. Because Cyber Financial Crimes have the most direct impact to that group and they have the means to address it, they are the group who can impart a culture of IT and Cyber Security to Ukrainian society and leadership.
