The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence contributed experts and three popular storylines to the Cyber Coalition 2015 exercise. NATO’s largest cyber defence exercise took place this week with control centre in Tartu, Estonia.
“The Centre has supported storyline development since the first Cyber Coalition. This year, we contributed the main technical storyline dealing with the emerging threat of mobile malware as well as two popular legal storylines dealing with questions such as privacy, classified information sharing, human rights and applicability of international conventions,” said Lt Col Christian Braccini, an expert at the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. He emphasised that for two years in a row, the Centre’s storylines were fully booked by exercise participants.
