By staging war games, NATO members prepare for cyber attacks

Locked Shields is a large-scale cyber defense exercise organized by NATO in Tallinn, Estonia. It simulates a cyber attack on a fictional country, Beryllium, by Crim Zonia, to test the defense capabilities of NATO and EU nations. The exercise highlights vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems. Teams from various countries, including the US, collaborate to defend against these threats, emphasizing learning and information sharing. The exercise underscores the importance of cyber defense in an increasingly internet-dependent world.
