Acting Secretary Wolf Participates in Ceremonial Groundbreaking of CYCLOPS in Cyprus

“Projects like CYCLOPS help DHS and our partners across the globe keep our countries safe and secure,” said Acting Secretary Wolf. “I commend Foreign Minister Christodoulides and the entire Government of the Republic of Cyprus for their cooperation on these extremely important security issues.”

CYCLOPS will include a number of different hands-on training platforms, including a mock land border crossing, passenger screening area, and a mobile cybercrime training lab, which will enable regional partners to learn best practices for securing critical infrastructure and to engage in cross border, counterproliferation cyber investigations.  The United States—including DHS—will provide equipment, trainers, and other capacity-building support, while the Republic of Cyprus will contribute land, facilitate travel, and provide trainers.
