Pilot Use Case 3, led and organised by the Forum Virium Helsinki, was held online on 21 March 2024 and consortium partners demonstrated the capabilities of Virtual Cyber Range in training CERTs/CSIRTs and validated the capabilities of the IRIS platform safeguarding the Helsinki Smart Grid environment against cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
