Bismillah writes about NATO's annual Locked Shields cyber defense exercises. "The Western European and North American mutual defence pact organisation NATO has concluded an annual cyber defence exercise, defending a fictitious network against incoming attacks. Called Locked Shields 2013, the exercise involved 250 people in eleven locations around Europe, under the auspices of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD-COE), the Finnish and Estonian Defence Forces and two government IT security organisations in the Baltic country."

Would have been better if the Red Team was the entire world.
They could announce the IP block they would be using to the world and anyone could throw anything they wanted at it with no fear of prosecution.
The Blue Team would then actually have a real challenge on their hands.

Imitating

Attacks
