He has also placed an emphasis on the security of the city`s data, helping to decrease vulnerabilities and increase cyber security throughout city applications. The mayor`s office said he is working closely with Maksim Pecherskiy, the city`s chief data officer, who is responsible for making municipal government data more available to the public.
