Leonardo has taken a notable step by participating in its first international operation at the Defence Cyber Marvel, a multinational exercise dedicated to digital security overseen by the UK Ministry of Defence. This initiative is designed to boost the cyber capabilities of allied forces as they confront evolving digital threats. As part of its commitment, Leonardo deployed a team of 11 apprentices from its Cyber and Security division based in Bristol. Expressing pride in the experience, Oliver emphasized its significance in cultivating essential skills for effective cyber defense.
