Back in March, our partners in Ecuador completed their first national Tabletop cyber crisis exercise with the help of Cyber4Dev.
Led by the Ministerio de Telecomunicaciones, a critical scenario was explored and the National Cybersecurity Committee worked through a series of potential cyber incidents, with the aim of testing out Ecuador’s response and ability to prioritise and make sound decisions during a time of crisis. As the committee considered their options, our short term expert Lauri Luht was on hand to provide guidance and advice.
Our country co-ordinator Merili Soosalu commented at the time
‘I was glad to note that the main priorities in crisis handling and management followed the same lead of national cybersecurity strategy adopted in August 2022 that developed jointly with the expertise of European Union through Cyber4Dev. Ecuador has all the keys and knowledge in their hand to develop further their Cyber preparedness ‘
