VdA advises Cyber defense and Cyber security Armies "Ciber Perseu 2014"

Following the works that have been developed throughout the last few years in this area, the Portuguese army organized a military exercise, Cyber Perseus 2014 with the purpose of testing the procedures of the army in the area of cyber defense. Bearing in mind that cyber defense involves various sectors of society, the Portuguese Army invited several institutions, regulatory authorities and communication and national critical infrastructure operators, such as energy and transport, to join the exercise.

Sofia de Vasconcelos Casimiro, VdA consultant, was also invited as external legal advisor, assisting on the applicable legal framework for cyber incidents included in the exercise.

This way, the purpose is to contribute to the development of national capacities in the area of cyber defence and therefore cybersecurity. The Cyber Perseus 2014 that will take place between 10 and 13 November, also allows to prepare the participation of the Portuguese Army in the Cyber Coalition 2014 NATO Exercise.
