The official Cyber.UY launch, National Cybernetic Defense Simulation Exercise, which will be carried out in December in our country was carried out in the Antel.
The initiative is led by the Ministry of National Defense, through the General Directorate of Defense Policy and the Defense General Staff (ESMADE), with Antel as a strategic partner.
The exercise will bring together critical infrastructures of the State, ministries, intendances, the academy and personnel of the Armed Forces, becoming a national milestone that integrates technical, political and military aspects. Its central objective is to strengthen the state's detection and response capacities against possible national cyber attacks.
This project is developed thanks to the support of the South Command and the National Guard of Connecticut, creators of the Cyber Yankee exercise, which is carried out annually in that country. Uruguay will be the first country in the region to implement an exercise of these characteristics.
The general director of Defense Policy, Lic. Nadia Almeida participated in the launch; the ship captain Claudio López, responsible for the ESMADE Cyberdefensa area; the Vice President of Antel, Lic. Pablo Álvarez; the Division Manager Security Strategies of Antel, Ing. Roberto Monzón; and the Cybersecurity Operations Manager of Antel, Ing. Alejandro Reyna.
During the presentation, the importance of generating exchange spaces where the State acts in an integrated manner was highlighted. Likewise, it was stressed that cyberdefense is a strategic capacity that transcends technical and should be part of the political decisions for the defense of national sovereignty.
