Lithuanian Riflemen's Union Cybersecurity Unit "Lizdeika"

Who We Are

Lizdeika Unit Logo The Lizdeika Unit is the Cybersecurity and Technology leadership team of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union. Founded in 2022, our team comprises top-level experts in international information technology, cybersecurity, web development, drones, and smart systems. These professionals not only share their expertise but also actively drive innovation and strengthen national defense.

We are proud of our achievements, including winning the prestigious "Amber Mist" exercise for two consecutive years and securing first place at the Baltic Cyber Defense and Security Innovation event "Flaming Shield 2023". We actively participate in exercises with the Lithuanian Armed Forces (LK) and National Defense Volunteer Forces (KASP), training riflemen and soldiers in applying the latest defense technologies.

Our activities extend beyond cybersecurity. We also develop web solutions, create advanced drone and smart system technologies, and regularly participate in hackathons. Through these events, we test our capabilities and enhance the combat readiness of riflemen by applying modern technologies in practice.

The Lizdeika Unit stands for unity, innovation, and professionalism, committed to enhancing Lithuania's security. Our mission is to foster public cybersecurity literacy, develop advanced technologies, and contribute to national defense in every possible way.
