2. Improve cyber defence readiness through specialised training and exercises, equipping personnel with the necessary skills to counter cyber-attacks.
3. Strengthen technical infrastructure by ensuring the procurement and deployment of cybersecurity equipment, enhancing the overall security of Moldova’s defence information systems.

Projects outcomes will be the strengthened cybersecurity capabilities and resilience of the Ministry of Defence and Moldovan Armed Forces and improved network infrastructure.
