Electronic Warfare: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to help train military personnel cyber warfare skills.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has invested significantly in developing its specialist cyber workforce by training cyber operators and planners at the Defence Cyber Academy augmented by single-Service environmentally specific training, to undertake cyber operations and increase Defence resilience. MOD has developed a Cyber Individual Training Environment (CITE) platform to allow personnel to access capability specific training, on-line training resources and a practical training environment. Cyber warfare is an integrated component of Defence exercises, recognising that cyber power is the ability to protect national interests through cyberspace that underpins our success on operations in all environments and domains.
