US, UK Plan Cyber 'War Games' to Boost Defense Against Hackers!
'Cyber war games' to be staged by US and UK
David Cameron: "Cyber attacks are one of the biggest modern threats we face"
The UK and US are to carry out "war game" cyber attacks on each other as part of a new joint defence against online criminals.
The first exercise, a staged attack on the financial sector, will take place later this year, Downing Street said.
The
"unprecedented" arrangement between the two countries was announced as
Prime Minister David Cameron held talks with US President Barack Obama.
The United States and United Kingdom will conduct joint cyber “war
games” against each country’s banks, financial institutions, and other
critical infrastructure in order to improve defenses against cyber
attacks.
Additionally, the two allies will create a joint “cyber
cell” featuring agents from both countries that will conduct the war
games and share information on threats, as well as the best ways to
combat hackers. The US division has already been staffed with members of
the FBI, National Security Agency, GCHQ, and MI5, the Guardian
reported.
The first war game will occur later this year with the
help of the Bank of England, and will target institutions in London and
on Wall Street. Later exercises will test other infrastructure such as
power suppliers and transportation systems.
