Regional Cyber Defence Centre Expands International Operations

The Regional Cyber Defence Centre is moving into a new phase of international cooperation with a platform designed to bring three activities together: cyber-threat analysis, active threat hunting and investigations.

The National Cyber Security Centre’s deputy director, Rokas Jonikas, said the partners had built a strong international relationship based on trust over six years. The new HUB, he said, would allow them not only to analyse threats together, but also to seek them proactively, conduct joint investigations and turn accumulated knowledge into concrete action.

The centre’s governing board discussed the next stage at a meeting last week. Representatives of the member countries agreed on future research areas, planned joint initiatives and considered opportunities for proactive cyber-threat-hunting operations. Foreign expert organisations and cybersecurity specialists from partner countries are expected to take part more actively, working on the platform on a rotating basis.

“

Over six years, we have built a strong, trust-based international partnership and gained significant experience in cyber-threat analysis. Now we are moving forward. The HUB will allow partners not only to analyse threats together, but also to actively search for them, conduct joint investigations and turn accumulated knowledge into concrete action.

Lithuania’s Defence Ministry said the arrangement would bring together expertise from different countries, speed up the exchange of information about current threats and support joint analysis and threat-hunting efforts. Integrating the three areas on one platform is also intended to strengthen practical cooperation as the cybersecurity environment changes.

The governing board meeting included representatives from Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and the United States.

This will allow us to bring together the expertise of different countries, exchange information about current threats more quickly, and analyse and search for them together.
