This year, Google will continue to support the cybersecurity of the Ukrainian government and efforts to strengthen online security in Ukraine and, in particular, will provide the government of Ukraine with 5,000 security keys. This was discussed at a meeting of the Ministry of Digital Transformation team with Google executives during the World Economic Forum in Davos, said Mykhailo Fedorov, head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, UNN reports.

Together with Google, we are strengthening the cybersecurity of government agencies by agreeing on 5,000 digital security keys to protect critical information. I also tested Google's Project Starline technology for 3D video communication. Imagine a work call in macro, where you can see your colleague in every detail - emotions, facial expressions, and even the way their hair moves.
