Key activities included joint malware forensics, advanced threat intelligence exchange, and reverse engineering of malicious software, enabling both forces to gain critical insights into current and emerging cyber threats.
“The joint undertaking significantly enhanced the Philippine Army’s cyber posture by tapping into ADF’s advanced technological expertise and operational best practices,” Dema-ala said.
