Project overview

Building counter-terrorism capabilites

A member of the team was requested by a European Union agency to assist with a large-scale Counter-Terrorism capacity building program for the Lebanese Internal Security Forces in Beirut, Lebanon. This program included the provision of specialised Network Forensics and Analysis training activities designed to raise the capacity of the Internal Security Forces to detect and monitor a broad range of criminal and terrorist threats.

Project Execution

A collaborative and comprehensive training program

Alongside other representatives and European Union oversight, a comprehensive training program was designed and developed consisting of classroom-based lessons and practical-based tuition on several open-source tools including Wireshark, Nmap and Paliscope.

Knowing how to collect, detect and monitor threats

The participation of our team member in the design and delivery of the Network Forensics and Analysis Training ensured that participants gained a significant level of knowledge into how they can collect digital evidence in order to detect and monitor criminal and terrorist threats in Lebanon. The successful delivery of the training program also enabled the Lebanese Internal Security Forces to gain enhanced confidence in their team of cyber specialists and identify additional training and development needs.
