Locked Shields 2019, the world's biggest and most advanced international cyber drills, which are organized by NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Center of Excellence (CCDCOE), are beginning in Estonia on Monday.

"In 2019 Locked Shields exercise taking place on 8-12 April will highlight the increased need for a better functional understanding between various experts and decision-making levels," CCDCOE said ahead of the drills last week, adding that the event was "the largest and most advanced international live-fire cyber exercise in the world."
The participants to the drills are expected to participate in a strategic game in which a fictional island nation, Berylia, which is holding national elections, is experiencing a worsening security situation.
The participants to the drills act as national cyber rapid reaction teams that help Berylia handle the incident.

According to CCDCOE, the annual exercises provide national cyber experts with a unique opportunity to practice protection of their countries' IT systems and critical infrastructure under the pressure of a major cyberattack.

Japan became a full-fledged participant Monday in NATO's cybersecurity war games, as Tokyo and Western nations eye potential hacking threats from China.

The Cyber Coalition exercise, which lasts until Friday, poses scenarios including cyberattacks during cross-border conflict as well as compromised state computer systems. One scenario involves participants striking back against a virtual enemy.
Japan upgrades its role from observer status, a position the country held between 2015 and 2018, as neighbor China reportedly builds its cyberwarfare capabilities.

"Japan has little experience in international exercises in the cyber field," a Defense Ministry official said.
The NATO alliance's Cyber Coalition, with a command center in Estonia, is one of the world's largest exercises of its kind. The more than 30 participants this year include the U.S., European Union and Ukraine.
