Manila, Apr 25 (Prensa Latina) Philippine and US forces are participating in the "CYDEX" cyber defense exercise as part of this year's Balikatan joint military maneuvers, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) announced on Friday.

According to a statement issued on Thursday, the CYDEX training, scheduled from April 21 to May 9, is being conducted simultaneously by several AFP units.

“This exercise is a key component of the Balikatan, designed to strengthen mutual cyber defense capabilities and enhance interoperability in responding to evolving digital challenges,” the AFP affirmed.

The drill brings together personnel from both nations to simulate real-world scenarios, share best practices, and develop coordinated response strategies to defend critical information infrastructure.
