New NATO cyber defense
NATO has set up a new Cyber Defence Management Authority that will coordinate the safeguarding of its own and member states computer infrastructures against cyberattack
The new organization will coordinate all NATO cybersecurity activities to protect its information and communication systems and offer assistance to NATO's 26 member states in North America and Europe, NATO said in a news release. NATO has maintained an internal cyber response capability since 2002.
The authority is expected to create a NATO cybercommand center to help member states during cyberattacks. The chief of the new authority is expected to be Maj. Gen. Georges D'Hollander, who runs NATO's internal cyberdefenses.
