Moroccan Armed Forces deploy US Garda Cyber platform

The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces has deployed the Garda Cyber platform, an advanced American cybersecurity system developed by Lyntris, to monitor sensitive networks and detect digital threats. The platform is utilized across more than 100 sites collectively in Morocco, Taiwan, and Armenia, though the specific number of operational sites within Morocco remains undisclosed.

Garda Cyber provides tools for continuous threat monitoring, detecting intrusion attempts, tracking connected devices, and automating digital defense responses. The deployment includes a specialized training component, with members of the Moroccan Armed Forces receiving instruction in San Diego, USA, on operating the system’s command and control capabilities.

This technological integration aims to bolster Morocco’s military cyber defense capabilities against increasing risks to communication networks and digital military infrastructure. While the operational presence of the system is confirmed through a distributed network of sites within the Kingdom, official details regarding the contract value and the exact scope of the mission have not been released.
