From 26 to 28 May, experts from NATO member states and industry gathered at the 13th NATO Cyber Defence Workshop in Tallinn, Estonia, to look at ways of enhancing cooperation in cyber defence among Allied countries.
They discussed topics such as critical information infrastructure protection, dynamic risks management and help for victims of cyber attacks. The workshop also featured a number of industry representatives to discuss legal aspects of cyber defence, cyber defence related mutual assistance among countries and sharing experiences on cyber defence exercises.
In his opening address, Estonian Defence Minister Jaak Aaviksoo outlined three aspects that are key to addressing cyber threats. The first, he said, is that every NATO country needs to develop a national approach to cyber security that encompasses all important stakeholders. “The robust national cyber security systems of Allies will be building blocks of a convincing NATO cyber defence capability,” he added.
“Secondly, we have to work on different models in different nations regarding how to build cooperation with private sector actors.” Most infrastructure is owned by the private sector and the majority of Internet users are companies and individuals – these are therefore the most vulnerable to the impact of a cyber attack, he said.
The third aspect is the need to develop different types of partnerships. For cyber defence, “prevention and cooperation are two important keywords.”
The event was jointly organised by the NATO Computer Incident Response Capability and the Co-operative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, which is based in Tallinn.
Key speakers also included Suleyman Anil, Head of the Cyber Defence and Countermeasures Branch of the NATO Office of Security.
