The Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP) is strengthening international capacity to counter Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK) malware by sponsoring a training series for allies and partners around the world.\u00a0 CDP sponsored development of the nine-day training program, titled \u201cUnhiding Hidden Cobra,\u201d which it provided to cybersecurity professionals from six partner nations in the Western Hemisphere, Africa, and Asia.\u00a0 (The U.S. government refers to malicious cyber activity by the DPRK government as \u201cHidden Cobra<\/a>.\u201d)\u00a0 Courses will continue to be offered to partner nations on a rotational basis through 2022 and 2023.\u00a0 The program includes practical, hands-on exercises to equip participants to prevent, detect, and mitigate malicious cyber activity using cybersecurity information released by U.S. government agencies.\u00a0 Participants are primarily staff from computer security incident response teams\u00a0and entities with similar roles in the public and private sectors.\u00a0 CDP offers these virtual trainings in partnership with the Software Engineering Institute, a federally funded research and development center based at Carnegie Mellon University.<\/p>\n

Building international cybersecurity capacity is a key part of the United States\u2019 commitment to promoting an open, interoperable, secure, and reliable Internet and a stable cyberspace.\u00a0 By cooperating with international partners to disrupt cyber threats, including those from the DPRK, the United States helps to strengthen global adherence to the\u00a0framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace<\/a>\u00a0and build global cyber resilience.\u00a0 The DPRK\u2019s malicious cyber activities threaten the United States and the broader international community, including the integrity and stability of the global financial system.\u00a0 In recent years, the DPRK has increasingly relied on malicious cyber activities \u2013 including\u00a0stealing directly from banks<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 to generate revenue for its UN-prohibited weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
