Inzpire developing Jordanian Air Force's cyber security capabilities

Inzpire worked with the Royal Jordanian Air Force to developed training courses around cyber, intelligence, unmanned air systems (UAS) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).

“We have a rare capability in Inzpire in that we are able to offer not only deep technical knowledge but also extensive experience of having developed cyber defense within the RAF,” said Sophie Paul, head of the Cyber, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism Division. “Our experts share a common aim to make skilled personnel the mainstay of cyber security.”

Students of the recently established ISR Wing of the RJAF received training based on UAS and ISR missions and processes, marking major steps towards developing thorough cyber defense system for the country.

“Jordan sits at the heart of a complex regional situation that concurrently involves live operations, a large-scale humanitarian disaster and major counter terror operations,” said Inzpire Training Manager Andy Bain. “Combine this with long borders and vast open areas and Jordan faces a complex and dynamic security situation.”

The training focused on the advantages of enhancing users understanding of current hardware, as an alternative to buying additional costly cyber-security hardware.

“Managing and integrating the assets, processing the huge amounts of collected data, getting that data to the right people at the right time, and then acting upon it, is a complex and specialized task that the Royal Jordanian Air Force must undertake,” said Bain.
