Cyber security remains a potential risk mitigation event for all individuals, communities, organizations and governments who rely on the Internet. This global village of users continues to review, re-evaluate and re-position defensive strategies against this cybersecurity risk arena — with the Cyber Atlantic 2011 cyber security exercise being the latest event to take place.
The Cyber Atlantic exercise 2011 is part of the ongoing EU-U.S. partnership to strengthen mutual capabilities for addressing emerging threats to global networks. Through the EU-U.S. Working Group on Cybersecurity – including representatives from DHS’ National Cyber Security Division (NCSD), the Department of Justice, EU member states and the European Commission – stakeholders focus on cyber incident management, enhancing public-private partnerships, and raising awareness about cyber threats, and combating cybercrime. Two hypothetical scenarios were tested in Cyber Atlantic 2011: a cyber-attack which attempted to extract and publish online sensitive information from the EU’s national cyber security agencies, and an attack on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in EU power generation equipment
