As cyber threats grow, international cooperation is more and more evident. A team from the US Defensive Cyber Operations Element of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard (PAARNG) has been visiting Lithuania since the start of November.  According to Lithuania’s Defense Ministry, the team had shared their experience in cyber defense and threat assessment with specialists from the Lithuanian National Cyber Security Center (NCSC). 

The US cyber security team visited the Regional Cyber Defense Center (RCDC) which started operating last summer. Cyber security specialists from Ukraine and Georgia are already working at the center which is planned to become the main practical platform for cyber defense cooperation with the PAARNG. 

RCDC representatives will visit the US in December for consultations with PAARNG specialists on the organization of cybersecurity exercises and the training of the necessary specialists, according to baltictimes.com.
