EU and US team up for a joint cyber security exercise

THE EUROPEAN UNION and the United States are hosting the first ever joint cyber security exercise today, simulating a series of cyber attacks and the regions' responses to them.

The joint effort, dubbed Cyber Atlantic 2011, is a collaboration between the EU's Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and the US Department of Homeland Security.

The first scenario in the exercise is an attack designed to pilfer and publish online secret data from the cyber security agencies of a number of EU member states. The second scenario simulates the disruption caused to supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in power generation infrastructures, an area that governments are becoming increasingly worried about after the Stuxnet virus caused significant damage to Iran's nuclear fuel processing plant.

The exercise involves 20 EU member states, with 16 of them actively participating, in addition to the European Commission and the United States. The emphasis is on seeing how well all of the countries respond and how they can improve co-operation in the face of digital adversity.
