CRDF Global and Secdev are proud to launch the Cyber Exercises and Experiential Education (CE3) program, an innovative initiative funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP). At a time when digital infrastructure underpins both national economies and global progress, CE3 offers a cutting-edge approach to strengthening cybersecurity in frontline states—those most exposed to cyber risks or in urgent need of capacity building. “This program isn’t just about training; it’s about transforming how we tackle real-world challenges,” said Michael Dignam, CEO of CRDF Global. “CE3 builds on the decades of CRDF Global programming in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, while leveraging the power of innovation and our unique partnership with SecDev. By combining policy expertise and technical training in highly immersive scenarios, we’re preparing countries to face the chaos and uncertainty of real cyber events—and succeed.” Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility that transcends borders. With over 65% of the world’s GDP tied to digital infrastructure, defending cyberspace is in the common interest of all nations. CE3 brings together governments, private industry, and civil society to collaborate on solutions that work in the real world. Rafal Rohozinski, SecDev CEO, highlighted the importance of this global collaboration: “Cybersecurity is the ultimate team sport, and success depends on engaging all stakeholders. The CE3 program is a prime example of how innovation and strategic partnerships can drive solutions that benefit everyone. This isn’t just about building capacity—it’s about ensuring that nations and their critical industries are resilient and ready for the future.” Learn more at: https://hubs.ly/Q032Q3Cr0 #cybersecurity #digitalresilience #digitalinfrastructure #CDP

Thanks to Todd Spires for sharing your timely and global perspectives and to the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) for highlighting these top #CCBin2024 developments!
??The GFCE asked community leaders for their Top 3 developments in cyber capacity building in 2024 #CCBin2024. Todd Spires is Program Director for Digital and Cyber Resilience Programs at CRDF Global, and serves as Chairman of GFCE Working Group D: 1. Increased CCB Coordination: I am seeing a greater interest on the part of donors and implementers in understanding who else is operating in the ecosystems in which they are partnering. I’ve seen much more donor integration and desire to talk to their government colleagues to align their CCB support, and implementers being more willing to engage with each other to avoid duplication of effort within the beneficiary community. Examples include the maturation of the Tallinn Mechanism that provides cyber defense assistance to Ukraine, and the GFCE’s increasingly visible role in coordinating CCB activities in the Western Balkans. 2. Next-Gen widgets: In my opinion, there has been too great a focus on next generation cyber defense tools (such as AI and quantum cryptography) in cyber ecosystems that are woefully under-resourced for basic IT security, let alone cybersecurity (LAC, Africa, and Eastern Europe, among others). To put it bluntly - AI will not legitimize pirated copies of operating systems or develop and fund annual operating budgets. 3. Cyberhygiene: all of our partners have voiced a new appreciation for basic cyberhygiene over the past year. With the non-technical workforce being the largest and most easily exploited attack surface, our beneficiaries are increasingly aware of the need to institutionalize and repeat basic cyberhygiene training to reinforce habits such as using MFA, avoid phishing emails, and malware avoidance (don’t click on the attachment!!).

On December 18-19, 2024, CRDF Global successfully supported the Training Maritime Officials to Prevent Against the Threat of Illicit Activities in Cyprus. Nineteen Cyprus customs officials, coast guard, naval officials and registry officials from relevant maritime service providers gathered for two-day, in-person engagement in Larnaca, Cyprus. This training aimed to improve due diligence practices for the maritime sector in Cyprus against sanctions evasion attempts by global threat actors and countering maritime security breaches in the shipping and energy sectors by focusing on topics such as ultimate beneficiary ownership, ship-to-ship transfers, trade controls pertaining to illicit oil transfers, and an overview of relevant U.S., EU, and UN regulations. The team included CRDF Global’s Polish staff: Zuzanna Grüner, Senior Project Officer and Anastasiia Fadeieva, Travel and Logistics Specialist. The conference – supported by the U.S. Department of State and the Cyprus Centre for Land, Open Seas and Port Security” (CYCLOPS), with SMEs from C4ADS, successfully enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing among the participants and continue to positively impact the mission of CRDF Global in Europe at large.
