Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) says this week's Exercise Locked Shields large-scale cyber warfare exercise is a significant example of what countries can do when working together in the field.
"Locked Shields is an extraordinary testament of what can be achieved in cooperation of like-minded nations and highly skilled experts from various fields," Kallas, who attended a briefing on the international live-fire cyber defense exercise, one of the largest of its kind worldwide and organized by the Tallinn-based NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence (CCDCOE), said Wednesday.
"Cyber defenders need to be ready 24/7, especially during the time of this pandemic when our societies depend even more on safe cyberspace solutions. It is important to practice our cyber defense capabilities on a regular basis and we also need to make sure that everyone involved can test their skills safely," Kallas went on, according to a CCDCOE press release.
