Cyber Defense Partnerships Lead to Lasting Relationships
“PERSHENDETJE NGA SHQIPERIA”,
“GREETINGS FROM ALBANIA"
In late March, I made my first visit to the charming and friendly city of Tirana, Albania. A highlight of my trip was meeting with senior leadership from EUCOM and the Albanian Ministry of Defense and Chief of Defense to discuss opportunities to preserving partnership capacity in cyber defense by strengthening collective International cyber security postures and cooperation. The meeting emphasized the nation’s cyber program -- the importance of Albania’s cyber defense capability to protect and defend its information systems and infrastructure to obtain funding and resources to support their military.
Meetings with Col. Chesk Millja, Albania J6, and his staff provided us with an opportunity to map out our future military-to-military cyber engagements between Albania, EUCOM, and the New Jersey National Guard through the State Partnership Program. The EUCOM International Cyber Engagement team leverages and integrates the capabilities of the SPP to augment and support their programs.
Increasing our partners’ cyber defense postures to protect and defend against threats and vulnerabilities which disrupt free use of the global information grid is a top priority here at EUCOM where we are committed to building enduring cyber defense partnerships with Albania and other NATO and Partnership for Peace (PfP) countries. We are working to strengthen our collective cyber defense and improving deployment readiness with interoperable and secure command, control, communications and computer systems that make us more ready to meet the global challenge of securing cyberspace in a multinational forum and participate as equal partners in a coalition cyber environment.
Albania is committed to this cyber partnership and plans to host a Cyber Endeavor Seminar in spring 2013. Cyber Endeavor is EUCOM’s cyber defense collaboration and familiarization venue designed to strengthen partner nation cyber defense capacity through seminars, events, and exercise support.
We look forward to strengthening and sustaining our cyber partnership with Albania.

Protecting our Cyber Ecosystem
On April 22, we celebrate Earth Day, a day intended to reflect appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. You are probably thinking, “How can we apply the concept of ecosystems to the man-made domain of cyberspace?” A recently published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whitepaper, “Enabling Distributed Security in Cyberspace,” describes the need for a healthy and resilient cyber ecosystem. Similar to natural ecosystems, cyber ecosystems have a variety of diverse participants, including private firms, non-profits, governments, individuals, processes, and cyber devices. These cyber species interact at machine speed and can have a positive and a negative impact on the cyber ecosystem.
