The Armed Forces of the Philippines is continuously enhancing its cyber defense capabilities as threat groups and hostile forces take advantage of cyber space, a military official said Saturday.

Major Gen. Edgard Arevalo, AFP spokesperson, said scores of soldiers took part in a Cyber Defense Exercise which was conducted as part of the ongoing AFP Joint Exercise “DAGIT-PA” in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

Due to the pandemic, the CYDEX was also done virtually as the AFP partnered with cybersecurity firms Nexusguard and Kaspersky to train their personnel. “CYDEX is geared towards the assessment and strengthening of our cyber preparedness, examining incident response processes, and enhancing information sharing among AFP cyber units,” he noted.

It was followed by the AFP Communications, Electronics, and Information System Service at second place while the Cyber Battalion of the Philippine Army Signal Regiment took the third spot.
