Joining Forces to Defend Virginia

While their business casual outfits stood out in a large group mostly wearing military camouflage, so did the deep knowledge and expertise of the REC and BrilliT employees invited to take part in Cyber Fortress 25.

During a simulated cyberattack on the region’s electricity grid and operational systems, more than 250 Virginia Army National Guard and Virginia Defense Force members worked alongside critical infrastructure partners.

“Joint-combined collaboration between the whole of government, industry and critical infrastructure is crucial for domestic operations and national defense. Training with the critical infrastructure partners is cardinal to ensure we continue to operate in times of emergency.”
