"11 Countries Take Part in Military Cyberwarfare Exercise"

The biggest military cyberwarfare exercise in Western Europe recently took place in Estonia.  A total of 34 teams from 11 countries took part in a live-fire cyber battle.  Countries such as the US, UK, Japan, India, Italy, Estonia, Ukraine, Ghana, Kenya, and Oman were represented by 750 experts at the Defence Cyber Marvel 2 (DCM2) exercise.  Many of them participated remotely.  The seven-day event was led by the British Army and tested participants' responses to common and complex cyber scenarios, including attacks on networks and industrial control systems (ICS).  One scenario simulated in NATO's CR154 cyber range involved attacks on uncrewed robotic systems, a tactic used by Russia to disrupt Ukrainian cyberspace in the early days of its invasion.  The participating teams competed against each other and were judged based on their speed in identifying and responding to cyber threats.  A team from Italy was declared the winner, followed by teams representing Estonia and the UK.
