Natrix and CyberSet help increasing national cyber resilience

Natrix and CyberSet, cybersecurity monitoring and automation products developed by NRD Cyber Security's engineers, continue to be trusted by national cybersecurity teams around the world. In the first half of 2024, NRD Cyber Security experts worked to strengthen the cyber resilience of the Egyptian financial sector: Natrix was deployed in three of Egypt's largest banks, while the cyber incident detection and response platform was upgraded for the financial sector's cybersecurity team, EG-FinCERT. Further projects in other sectors are planned in Egypt during the second half of the year. In addition, with updates to already deployed CyberSet, Malta's Critical Infrastructure Protection Directorate increased its cyber incident response maturity. The second half of 2024 started equally busy for both Natrix and CyberSet, with new opportunities opening up in East Africa, where the Natrix product proof of concept is already in the deployment process. Similarly, projects in the Eastern Caribbean and Bangladesh, where the NRD Cyber Security team has already started working on elements of cyber security capacity building, will require improvements to security operations, providing opportunities for Natrix and CyberSet.

Major cybersecurity projects started in other markets

The organisation has also started several large-scale international projects. NRD Cyber Security experts started working with the Universal Post Union, which is developing an Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (ISAC) to enhance the security of the global postal sector. A project has also been launched in the Eastern Caribbean to set up a cyber incident response team. This team would be available to OECS members Grenada, Dominica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. A major cross-cutting project with the European Union Agency for Cyber Security (ENISA) to strengthen the cyber resilience of EU countries is also ongoing. NRD Cyber Security experts are assessing the risks and checking the cybersecurity preparedness of the Lithuanian public sector.

Initiatives to increase cyber resilience for nations and organisations

The company's activities are aimed at creating a secure digital environment, and it has implemented various initiatives in Lithuania and abroad to strengthen the cyber resilience of countries and organisations. These include international webinars for security teams on how to strengthen their operations, as well as educational articles and presentations on how organisations can increase their cybersecurity maturity. In addition to the ongoing SOCshare project, which aims to improve the maturity of SOCs operating in the EU, the SOCcare project was launched in the first half of 2024. Its aim is to raise the bar on cyber threat intelligence practices by better analysing and sharing digital artefacts in the Eastern European region and beyond.
