The exercise … The result of NATO’s first ‘smart defence’ multi-nation project in cyber defence – a new incident reporting-and-sharing system – was tested during the Alliance’s recent large-scale cyber exercise in November. EDA supports NATO CCD COE ‘Locked Shields’ cyber defence exercise Brussels - 05 April, 2019 ‘Locked Shields’, the world’s biggest and most advanced international cyber defence exercise involving life-fire attacks, is organized annually by NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD COE) in Tallinn. High-level cyber/hybrid crisis management and legal decisions have to be made in accordance with national, EU, NATO and UN regulations by those Blue Teams. With its rich expertise and experience gained from several strategic decision-making exercises organised with Member States over recent years, EDA will support the ‘Locked Shields 2019 Strategic Track’, a parallel, table-top decision-making exercise track playing in the same fictitious, sovereign state under severe cyber-attacks from an aggressive neighbour.
The main task of the Blue Teams is to protect and maintain their services and networks against these life attacks.
The roles of NATO, EU and UN will be played by a “White Team”, including EDA.© 2020 European Defence Agency Information on this is subject to If you are interested in receiving our newsletter, enter your email address in the field below:
They have every intention of using this beyond their defence ministries, » he said.

The templates’ various information fields can be left visible or masked, according to a military’s secrecy rules.Each military cyber defence team chooses among CIICS’ standardized attributes to construct its own templates.
Take a look at EDA agenda and don’t miss out on key events The exercise will see a Red team (based in Tallinn) attacking Blue Teams made up by CCD COE member states (based at exercise locations in their capitals) who will act as national rapid reaction teams deployed to assist a fictional country in handling large-scale cyber incidents and all their multiple implications.
Thus, immediate cross-alerting and situational awareness take place between defence teams according to their threat priorities. Thus, if we don’t step up the same for the allies’ defence and counter-attack, they’ll always be behind the curve, » Weimer said on 19 December.Rhea is developing the new web-based incident ‘ticketing’ system for the defence ministries of Canada, the Netherlands, and Romania.The three nations launched their smart defence project’s work package in March 2013, funnelling their requirements and funding through the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency), which oversees Rhea’s work on their behalf.« In Afghanistan the Alliance was lucky: the enemy did not have much cyber-attack capability, so we didn’t have to work on that very much, » NCI Agency cyber technician Luc Dandurand told IHS Jane’s on 12 December, « but for future missions our interconnected systems are going to be attacked by our adversaries and we’ll have to react far more quickly – all the more so because weapon systems will be increasingly be connected to each other, meaning the risks to [command and control] C2 will rise.
