This week, on February 18th, in New York, Latvia, the Dominican Republic, the Republic of Indonesia, and UNIDIR (United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research) co-organized a thematic event focused on strengthening national cybersecurity and incident response capacity.
In February 2025, the Cyber Incident Response Institution, CERT.LV, the Latvian Ministry of Defence, and the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Command conducted their unique Threat Hunt Workshop. The workshop welcomed 30 participants from NATO nations, drawing cybersecurity professionals from diverse backgrounds.
Geopolitical and ideological conflicts continue to be strong drivers of cyber attacks. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the level of cyber threats in Latvia has increased significantly.
In collaboration with the Cybersecurity Incident Response Institution – CERT.LV, the Latvian Ministry of Defence, and the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Forces (CAF), a specialized training course has been developed to advance threat-hunting capabilities. This course integrates international expertise to provide a robust foundation for effective threat detection.
