Exercises that we support

CCDCOE contributes to almost all major NATO exercises and to other national or international initiatives upon request

Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXercise (CWIX)

The greatest test of NATO’s interoperability. It is a live exercise in which NATO Allies and partners practice sharing tactics, techniques and procedures to improve the detection of cyber incidents and the response time needed to identify and resolve new emerging security threats. CCDCOE supports the exercise with planning, training, execution and evaluation, mainly in redteaming activities and Test Case Analysis.

Cyber Coalition

Cyber Coalition is NATO’s flagship annual collective cyber defence exercise and one of the largest in the world. It brings together NATO Bodies, NATO Allies, and Partners to strengthen the Alliance ability to deter, defend against, and counter threats in and through cyberspace in support of NATO’s core tasks by exercising collaboration and cyberspace operations, and providing input to NATO transformation. CCDCOE experts participate in the planning and execution of the exercise, contributing with operational/technical and legal storylines.
