Defence Cyber Agency begins exercise to bolster cyber resilience at national level

New Delhi/Pune, June 16 (UNI) "Cyber Suraksha", a comprehensive cyber security exercise designed to simulate real-world cyber threats, reinforce secure practices and test the analytical and defensive cyber skills of participants in a high-paced, gamified environment, commenced on Monday.
Organised by Defence Cyber Agency under aegis of the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff, this multi-phased exercise is a proactive step towards bolstering cyber resilience at national level and encompasses the conduct of targeted training sessions, evaluation and an engaging capsule for leadership, said a Defence press release here.
Over 100 participants from national-level agencies and stakeholders from defence domains are taking part in the event, which will conclude on June 27.
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) conclave for leadership has also been dovetailed in ‘Cyber Suraksha’, thereby integrating the technical aspects with leadership roles. The CISOs conclave includes talks by eminent speakers and will culminate in an immersive Table-Top Exercise.
Combining structured learning with dynamic hands-on challenge environments will empower participants to act decisively in the face of cyber threats.
