14 DAY TRIAL // The defense ministers of 28 NATO countries will meet up later this week to discuss ways to address cyber security issues. The meeting will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“The challenge evolves all the time – probably more exponentially than any other type of threat that we face at the moment. Therefore we have to make certain that NATO keeps pace with that evolving threat,” an unnamed senior NATO official said, cited by the Xinhua News Agency.
The official has also explained that 23 of 28 NATO members have already signed up to exchange information on cyberattacks.
In an article published in The Wall Street Journal, NATO Secretary General Ander Fogh Rasmussen explained that the organization dealt with over 2,500 instances of intrusion attempts and abnormal cyber activity last year.
However, he has highlighted that none of the attempts were successful.
