For the second year in a row, at the invitation of the Montenegro’s Government, elite team of American cyber experts will be working on combating malicious cyber actors together with their Montenegrin counterparts.
As American Embassy reported, operations of the Command of the American cyber team are part of the American efforts to counter opponents in cyber space, through joint work with reliable partners and allies. Those defense operations also show insight into the cyber threats in the run-up to the forthcoming American and Montenegrin elections.
“Both the USA and Montenegro have benefits from our close partnership in the domain of cyber defense, which helps us protect our common values and interests”, said American ambassador to Montenegro, Ms Judy Rising Reinke.
She said that working with Montenegro was a clear example of how free world “cooperates in widening security”.
“We are looking for adequate ways and resources to protect democracy in the Western Balkans from those who would like to see this part of Europe shattered”, said Montenegro’s Defense Minister, Mr Predrag Bošković.
While defending important infrastructure and resources, American and Montenegrin cyber experts investigate capabilities and means of acting against malicious cyber actors.
Just like US secretary of state, Mr Mike Pompeo, said recently, thanks to direct cooperation with Montenegro in the field of cyber security, the USA managed to provide means of protection from the latest Russian malware.
