Who We Are

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 contribute to innovation and strengthening 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), where we train riflemen and soldiers in the application of the latest technologies for defense.

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 represents unity, innovation, and professionalism dedicated to ensuring Lithuania's security. Our mission is to foster public cybersecurity literacy, develop advanced technologies, and contribute to national defense in every possible way.
