- Indra's Minsait Cyber Range platform is used for Cybersecurity and Cyberdefense training purposes, with the aim of preparing public and privately-run entities on how to provide a coordinated response against large-scale cyberattacks
- Over 60 privately-run companies, universities, State and military organizations of different countries participated in this edition of Cyber Perseu
The Portuguese Armed Forces have completed 2017 Cyber Perseu, the National Cyberdefense Exercise, using Indra's Minsait Cyber Range training platform. Over 60 privately-run companies, universities, State and military organizations have participated in this exercise.
Different international entities participated in the exercise, such as the Spanish Joint Cyber Defense Force or the Brazilian Cyber Defense Command Center. Experts of privately-run companies operating in different sectors participated in the exercise, from the energy and utilities sector to the transportation, telecommunications or banking sectors, among others.
The Portuguese Armed Forces coordinated the exercise, which was aimed at testing and assessing the detection, response and coordination capacity of different national government and privately-run entities against a large-scale cyber-attack. The purpose of the exercise was also to identify procedures that can help improve how the response to this type of incidents is coordinated between the national cyber security actors.
The test was carried out at the Military Academy of Lisbon over a four-day period in November. Some of the participants connected to Indra's Minsait Cyber Range platform remotely from other regions and countries.
In addition, the Portuguese Armed Forces arranged a Capture-The-Flag competition (CTF), which lasted five hours, and in which participants faced advanced cybersecurity challenges. This competition helped the Armed Forces identify the experts with the greatest knowledge and skills.
