Simulated cyberattack tests Europe's defences

“The test exercise — dubbed Cyber Europe 2010 — was confined to public bodies, and ran on Thursday. The exercise was the first of its kind in Europe and was designed to mimic gradual loss of internet interconnectivity between countries. Cyber Europe 2010 was organised by European cybersecurity agency Enisa.

‘Member states will simulate progressive difficulties,’ Enisa spokesman Ulf Bergstrom told ZDNet UK on Wednesday. ‘It will test the communication between public authorities.’”
