Elbit Systems' subsidiary Cyberbit will supply an unnamed Asia-Pacific country with its CyberShield-Cyber Security Trainer and Simulator, the company announced on 20 January.

The CyberShield Simulator is designed to train users to detect, respond and prevent cyber attacks, while experiencing advanced up-to-date attacks under real network protection conditions. The simulator presents various network protection scenarios, conducts follow-up debriefing and evaluates the results.

The system enables simultaneous training for multiple users on attacks directed at IT networks as well as industrial control networks.

Adi Dar, general manager, CYBERBIT, said: ‘We are encouraged by this contract award from a customer in Asia Pacific. The cyber threat is constantly increasing, bearing much potential impact on national infrastructures. I am pleased that we can contribute and improve the capabilities of governments to prepare and face this imminent and exponentially growing threat.’
