The NATO Center for Cyber ​​Security Cooperation will hold Locked Shields 2023 cyber defense training in Tallinn from April 18 to 21 - about 3,000 people will take part in the world's largest cyber training.

 This was reported by the Estonian television and radio company ERR.

 At Locked Shields 2023, participants will solve real challenges in the field of cyber security: in particular, to resist attacks on power grids, increase the ability of networks to protect themselves, and make tactical and strategic decisions in a critical situation.

 "No other cyber defense training can offer such a specific and detailed experience as Locked Shields. 24 teams from all over the world will have to maintain life in critical infrastructure and IT systems," said Director of the NATO Center for Cyber ​​Security Cooperation Mart Norma.

 He added that 500 organizers prepared and refined the training for seven months and created more than 5,500 relevant virtual systems.

 This year, groups from 38 countries will take part in the exercises, which have been taking place since 2010.

 The Center for Cyber ​​Security Cooperation is a NATO unit headquartered in Tallinn that deals with the cyber security issues of the North Atlantic Alliance countries.

 Ukraine joined NATO's cyber center in March 2022, despite Hungary blocking the move in the past.
