More than 200 organisations from 25 EU member states are under
virtual cyber-attack today (30 October), as part of the continent’s
largest and most complex ever cyber security exercise.
Organised by the European Network and Information Security Agency
(ENISA), Cyber Europe 2014 is targeting security agencies, ministries,
telecoms and energy companies, financial institutions and internet
service providers.
All EU member states except Belgium, Lithuania and Malta are testing
their procedures and capabilities against realistic large-scale
cyber-security scenarios. The reasons those countries have declined to
participate are not known, but are “uncontroversial,” according to ENISA
sources.
More than 2000 separate cyber-incidents will be carried out,
including denial of service attacks to online services, intelligence and
media reports on cyber-attack operations, ambushes designed to change
websites' appearances, and attacks on critical infrastructure such as
energy or telecoms networks.
