NATO Allies agreed to establish a #new #centre to better protect against ever more sophisticated cyber threats. The NATO Integrated Cyber Defence Centre #NICC will enhance the #protection of NATO and Allied #networks and the use of #cyberspace as an operational domain. The Centre will inform NATO military commanders on possible #threats and #vulnerabilities in #cyberspace, including privately-owned #civilian #critical #infrastructures necessary to support military activities. The Centre will bring together #civilian and #military personnel from across the #NATO Enterprise, #Allied countries and experts from #industry. It will leverage advanced technologies to increase our situational awareness in cyberspace and enhance collective resilience and defence.

Should the Canadian government give some employment priority to veterans? Or as is now the case... one could be good enough to die for us but not good enough to win a contract. How sick is this. Civil servants in Ottawa now require a post secondary diploma or degree for individuals who work on government projects. Imagine, you could have 25 years of service in Signals, be a Certified Cyber Security Analyst and you are our of luck. Canadian citizens can join our Armed Forces at 17. Many, and I mean very many go on to get Bachelor degrees and Masters, even Doctorates but lower ranks often don't have the means or time. Serving means postings and deployments, tough to do night school... Our military procurement is in need of a massive shake-up. Cut the bureaucracy to the bone.

👨💻 Lithuania has officially launched a new cyber command to enhance coordination and response to cyberattacks. Named the Lithuanian Cyber Command (LTCYBERCOM), the new military unit will be responsible for planning and executing operations in cyberspace, as well as overseeing the installation of strategic communications and information systems. The command structure includes a headquarters for centralized cyber operations, a communications and information systems battalion, and a cyber defense command focused on information technology services. #military #army #defense #security #lithuania #cyber #cybersecurity
