FPDA Cyber Awareness Course 2026

HQIADS recently hosted the third iteration of the United Kingdom-delivered Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) Cyber Awareness Course (FCAC), conducted on 4–5 May 2026.

A total of 33 personnel from the FPDA member nations and HQIADS attended the course, which was delivered by Lieutenant Colonel Chris Histed and Major Colin Williams of the UK Cyber Advisory Team (CAT).

The FCAC was designed to provide a comprehensive and interactive strategic-level overview of cyber issues within the defence domain across the five FPDA nations. The course continues to strengthen regional cyber awareness, cooperation, and understanding, and has become an established feature of the FPDA activities calendar.
