NATO’s New Cyber Defence Centre Is In Belgium

Uploaded on 2024-07-20 in NEWS-Cybersecurity News, GOVERNMENT-Defence, FREE TO VIEW

NATO is creating a new cyber center to improve protection against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This NATO Integrated Cyber Defense Center (NICC) will “enhance the protection of NATO and Allied networks and the use of cyberspace as an operational domain.” 

“The Centre will inform NATO military commanders on possible threats and vulnerabilities in cyberspace, including privately-owned civilian critical infrastructures necessary to support military activities,” the organisation said on July 10th.

Improved cyber security resilience and defense will be achieved by the new center through the combined expertise of industry experts and military staff from allied countries, as well as the use of sophisticated tools, NATO said.

Based at NATO’s strategic military headquarters at SHAPE in Belgium, NATO says the new center will bring together civilian and military personnel from across the NATO Enterprise, Allied countries and experts from industry.

NATO now represents 32 nations and countries, including its 12 founding members, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Cyber threats directed against NATO and its member states have increased with the war in Ukraine, but the aggressors are not limited to Russia. NATO technologies and defense secrets are a prize target for any state not directly aligned with NATO or NATO-sympathetic nations.

“The Center will inform NATO military commanders on possible threats and vulnerabilities in cyberspace, including privately-owned civilian critical infrastructures necessary to support military activities,” NATO said.

Information about the structure and functions of the center will be developed in the coming months, and in NATO’s words, “will leverage advanced technologies to increase our situational awareness in cyberspace and enhance collective resilience and defense.”
