The exercise included identifying and resolving various cyber security incidents, covering both individual and larger incidents, which required a coordinated response at multiple levels.
The exercise scenarios covered a large number of cyber defence issues, such as malware analysis, digital exploration of evidence on different PC operating systems, routers, Internet application vulnerabilities, and detection/analysis of network infrastructure breaches.
“PANOPTIS” exercise has taken place annually since 2010 and involves more than 200 people from the Armed and Security Forces, Academic and Research centers, Government departments and the Private Sector.
It is noted that the National Guard has been participating in this exercise since 2018 after the formation of the Cyber Defence Company, which is part of the Signals, Information and Cyber Defence Directorate of the National Guard.
The mission of the Cyber Defence Company is to provide security for classified and non-classified networks and information systems within the National Guard. Furthermore, to prevent possible attacks that will degrade the operation of information systems and to detect and deal promptly with attacks and possible breaches of military network and information systems. The Company is manned by specialized Army Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Professional Soldiers.
