Press Release: Biggest ever cyber security exercise in Europe today

More than 200 organisations and 400 cyber-security professionals from 29 European countries tested their readiness to counter cyber-attacks in a day-long simulation, organised by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) on the 30 October 2014.

#CyberEurope2014 was the largest and most complex such exercise organised in Europe. More than 2000 separate cyber-incidents were dealt with, including denial of service attacks to online services, intelligence and media reports on cyber-attack operations, website defacements (attacks that change a website's appearance), ex-filtration of sensitive information, attacks on critical infrastructure such as energy or telecoms networks and the testing of EU cooperation and escalation procedures.
