Cautiously judging China for possible cyber threats, on December 2, Japan in actuality became a new contributor in NATO’s cyber-security war strategies by becoming a member.
Up till 2018, only an observer, Japan moved up its status in the field of “cyber-warfare”.
The Defense Ministry of Japan reportedly mentioned that it has very little experience when it comes to international exercises. There are several things and issues they need to work on, the language barrier being on the list.
The Cyber defenses Japan had to offer so far have always been a matter of criticism compared especially with those of the western nations which made them wonder about any possible cyber-suffrage that could be caused.
China’s infamous cyber-history includes several hacker organizations that are clearly blossoming. From attacks on the government to corporate servers, they’ve done it all.
Reportedly, China is feared to have massive cyber-attack efficacies to match that of Russia’s and that’s what’s causing the U.S and the other European countries to lose sleep.
Pondering over data breaches, Washington has urged other nations to shun Chinese-made telecommunication gear for their “fifth-generation wireless infrastructure”.
The NATO’s Cyber Coalition has its command center in Estonia and proposes one of the world’s greatest exercises of its type. It’s in full swing, with participants like Ukraine, the European Union, and the U.S. totaling up to over 30.
As part of the cyber-security exercise, the “Cyber Coalition” drills model situations that vary from “state compromised computer systems” to the role of cyber-attacks in cross-border battles and even defense against virtual enemies.
