President Joe Biden’s recent call for American businesses to strengthen their cyber defenses has drawn much attention from security experts. Their consensus is that the President’s concern over Russia’s “sophisticated cyber capability” as retaliation for its support of Ukraine is a valid one.

Justinas Pašys, managing director at Lithuanian Business Angel Network (LitBAN), which hosted a thematic event at the Vilnius TV tower last week, said the organization has a mandate to facilitate member connectivity with Ukrainian relief efforts as well as promising miltech startups.

The current moment represents an opportunity for companies to demonstrate their ability to respond to change. 

With the Russia-Ukraine war in full swing, cybersecurity experts point to a cyber front that had been forming online long before Russian troops crossed the border.
