Indra consolidates its position as NATO's strategic partner in the field of cyberdefence

Invited by NATO's Allied Command Transformation (ACT), Indra demonstrated the concept and capabilities of a new last generation Cyber Situational Awareness System in one of the world's largest collective cyberdefence exercises, Cyber Coalition 2024, held in Estonia from December 2 to 6.

The platform (called CySAS, Cyber Situational Awareness System) provides a real-time view of operations being conducted in and through cyberspace by both allies and adversaries. The system analyzes events occurring in Cyberspace and evaluates their impact on the mission's course of action to assure its success.

That means it offers a global vision of enormous value, helping to make the best decisions and react more quickly to any situation affecting an ongoing operation.

Indra led the deployment of this concept and capability in the exercise, with the participation of Airbus (France) and Leonardo (Italy) as strategic subcontractors.

The test and experimentation campaign, led by ACT, benefited from the collaboration of the Allied Command Operations (ACO), the Spanish Joint Cyberspace Command (MCCE) and the Allied Joint Force Command Naples (JFCNP).

The feedback from the NATO community and other stakeholders during the Cyber Coalition 24 demonstration was extremely positive and the lessons learned will be used to further fine tune the concept, with the ultimate goal of securing the most advanced capabilities for the Alliance.

Indra's leadership in this initiative underscores the company's confidence in driving NATO's Digital Transformation and Cyberspace Operations Strategy. The conceptualization of this capability facilitates NATO's readiness to conduct multi-domain operations, where cyber defence is critical, given the presence of the Cyberspace domain in all other Defense domains. The conceptualization of this capability facilitates NATO's readiness to conduct operations in both the cyberspace domain and in multi-domain scenarios, where cyber defense is present and decisive.

In addition to Indra's role in the project, it is also the coordinator of the EU's ECYSAP (European Cyber Situational Awareness Platform) project, one of the first and most important cyber defence initiatives fostered by the EU.

This European project will now continue with ECYSAP EYE, where Indra will coordinate the development of even more advanced capabilities, which will, in turn, strengthen the capabilities of the European Union's Command and Control System currently under development.

All these projects contribute to strengthening Europe and NATO's technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy, demonstrating Indra's ability to bring together and coordinate consortia that drive the development of cutting-edge technologies and deliver new capabilities. It all means further progress towards achieving the objectives set out in Indra's strategic plan, Leading the Future, of becoming a benchmark company in the sector that acts as a driving force in the industry.
