Latvia and Canada hold their fifth joint Threat Hunting training

The training was opened by CERT.LV Deputy Head and Technical Director Varis Teivāns, Ieva Kalēja, Director of the Cybersecurity Policy Department at the Ministry of Defence, and Jonathan Timmins, Commander of the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Unit CyTF-2. Emphasizing the importance of sharing practical experience and knowledge, Varis Teivāns said that participants could work not only with simulated scenarios but also examine examples of real Threat Hunting operations, including successful cases and those that provided valuable lessons and insights. The experience will help them better understand how to plan and conduct effective Threat Hunting operations. The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical tasks, focusing particularly on identifying cyber threats that traditional security solutions may not always detect. Ieva Kalēja highlighted the importance of international cooperation amid growing cybersecurity challenges, while Jonathan Timmins explained that the program was created to share knowledge and methods developed during joint operations. Since the first training sessions, 149 cybersecurity specialists from 28 countries, including NATO members and partner countries, have participated.
