EDA cyber ranges project gets approval
The European Defence Agency's (EDA) military requirements for cyber defence testing ranges have been officially endorsed, the agency announced on 13 July. This marks the beginning of the EDA's cyber ranges project.
The scope of the project is to improve the use of future and existing cyber ranges to conduct cyber defence testing, training and exercises for national and European Union (EU) personnel. It will be carried out within the context of the EU Cyber Security Strategy recognising cyber defence as one of its strategic priorities.
The EDA made its initial proposal for cooperative cyber defence testing, training and exercises under the pooling and sharing agenda in 2012. Cyber range interoperability aims to improve cooperation among operational cyber defence organisations, processes and systems.
The EDA cyber ranges project will take place under the EU pooling and sharing agenda and aims to increase the availability, occupation rate and efficiency of current cyber range facilities.
The newly approved military requirements define an EDA ad hoc cyber ranges project that will take place in a spiral approach until it reaches full operational capability in 2018. The working group will reach an agreement on complete project arrangements by late 2015 and begin the implementation and realisation phase by early 2016.
