Cyber Incident Response Capability established in Moldova with NATO support

NATO inaugurated a new Cyber Incident Response Capability for the Moldovan Armed Forces. This capability was established with support from the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme and in cooperation with the NATO Information and Communication Agency (NCIA) through a multi-year project, Radio Moldova reports.

"In an increasingly digitalized world, the risk of cyber security incidents is increasing. This issue is current in several countries, including the Republic of Moldova. The project we are inaugurating today was launched precisely to combat this phenomenon and to  increase the cyber defense capabilities of the National Army", said  NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana.

This project was tailored to address needs identified by the Moldovan government in close coordination with NATO technical experts. It included dedicated training courses and enhanced human, technical and procedural cyber capabilities to counter threats that may affect the military Computer Information Systems’ functionality, the security of services and critical infrastructure.
