Locked Shields takes place in Estonia’s capital Tallinn and it will run until April 22. With more than 2,000 participants from over 32 countries, this complex international cyber exercise is meant to facilitate cooperation and coordination between nations, industries, and public and private organizations in preparing against state-sponsored cyberattacks.
Since 2010, the exercise has been testing the readiness of national, military, and civilian IT systems against attacks targeting vital services and critical infrastructure by simulating a realistic, large-scale assault against an entire nation.
