Personnel from Defence Digital will be joining the collaborative exercise which will identify threats that could impact the internal systems of participants.
Insights from the operation will be shared with all partners in the interest of bolstering security and unifying our response to malicious cyber activity.
Rear Admiral Nick Washer, Director Operations at Defence Digital said: "Cyber does not recognise geographic borders. Our relationships with partners offer huge shared benefits; operations like this with US Cyber Command put our expertise into practice and enhance our collective defence."
This sentiment was echoed by US Navy Rear Adm. Matthew C. Paradise, deputy director, Operations J-3, US Cyber Command: "Defensive Cyberspace Operations helps CYBERCOM meet its mission responsibilities by enabling and improving mission assurance of the joint force, as well as our allies and partners, by maintaining reliable and defensible networks."
The information age is making the world more interconnected than ever before, driving opportunity, innovation and progress. However, this increased digitisation also brings unprecedented complexity, instability and risk, making global partnerships key to UK security and economic prosperity.
