To carry out their missions, our minehunters, F-35's, MQ-9B drones and combat vehicles must be able to move freely. To protect them from cyberattacks, we equip them with cryptographic keys and secure software systems.
Every day, we safeguard the security of all Belgian Defence communication-, information- and weapon systems.
Cyberspace is a world full of life and interaction. It holds a wealth of information. Our cyber experts and analysts collect and process this information daily to support our operations, anticipate threats and assist the missions of the General Information and Security Service (GISS).
Some of our specialties are gathering intelligence from electronic signals, open sources and social media. What really sets us apart is that we are the only ones in Belgium legally authorized to carry out computer hacking!
Our cyber experts also support operations in the field. Discreet infiltration, data exfiltration, intrusion, and more. We have an arsenal of ultra-specific means and techniques at our disposal to disrupt our adversaries.
Our teams can carry out actions in the physical, logistical and virtual domains of cyberspace.
We are a central hub in a broad network of institutional, industrial, academic and societal partners. As a key player in national cyber resilience, we promote development and innovation in cyber technology. Our experts constantly strive for excellence. For us, ‘training’ and ‘cooperation’ are more than just concepts.
