DCI Provides Cyber Defence Training for Several European Countries

DCI has given a one-week training to 12 participants from Kosovo, Macedonia and Moldovia on using a security Information Management System (SIEM).

The tailored courses are based on operational training and exercises. They raise participants’ awareness of cyber security issues.

DCI’s Cyber activity is positioned in the technico-operational training market segment where technical know-how is placed in a day-to-day context, in order to achieve an operational objective.

Trainees had access to a full IT platform simulating an environment with realistic scenarios to facilitate the elaboration of operational architectures. The 12 trainees worked on prevention and protection in the event of an attack, incident detection and management, and the appropriate responses.

The training was organised as part of the “Enhancing cybersecurity in Southeast Europe” (ENCYSEC) project financed by the Instrument contributing to Security and Peace (IcSP).

The purpose of this project is to help three countries from Eastern Europe and the Balkans (Kosovo, Macedonia and Moldovia) to establish national cyber security strategies, to reinforce their capacity to create Computer Emergency Readiness Teams (CERTs) and to enhance international cooperation.
