EDA provides cyber awareness training for EU naval operation

Xinhua, November 18, 2016 Adjust font size:

The European Defence Agency (EDA) has provided cyber awareness training to personnel of European Union (EU) naval operation in Mediterranean, the agency said Friday.

Some 100 staff from EUNAVFOR MED-Operation Sophia, EU's operation against human smuggling in the Mediterranean, attended the seminars organized by EDA last week in Rome, Italy.

The seminars covered important aspects such as mission-specific cyber threats, the legal framework applicable to cyberspace, common vocabulary and best practices when using communications and information systems.

Participants were also informed about the development and establishment of EU cyber defence capabilities for EU-led military operations and missions.

EDA started organizing cyber awareness seminars in 2014 for all the personnel of activated headquarters of EU-led military operations.

EDA is an EU agency based in Brussels with a primary mission to support the member states and the Council of the EU in their effort to improve European defense capabilities. Endit
