Politically motivated attacks are forcing the alliance to build a digital fortress.
The North Atlantic Alliance has announced the creation of the NATO Integrated Cyber Defense Center (NICC) at its headquarters in Belgium. This decision was made against the background of increasing cyber attacks on the member countries of the alliance and the bloc itself in recent years.
The new center will bring together civilian and military specialists from NATO countries, as well as experts from the cybersecurity industry. Its main task is to warn the military command in a timely manner about potential threats and vulnerabilities.
"The Center will use cutting — edge technologies to increase our awareness of cyberspace and strengthen collective resilience and defense," NATO said.
Special attention will be paid to protecting critical civilian infrastructure used to support the organization's military activities.
The decision to create the center was made at the NATO summit in Washington, dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the alliance. Press Secretary Farah Dahlallah announced this on the X* social network, summing up the first day of the event.
Experts note that in recent years, cyber attacks on NATO countries have become much more frequent and more sophisticated, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence technologies. Both government agencies and private companies working in the field of critical infrastructure are targeted by attacks.
The NATO headquarters in Belgium (SHAPE) also houses the Joint NATO Operations Command, which is responsible for the alliance's operations around the world. More detailed information about the center's work will be available in the coming months.
The NATO summit, which announced the creation of the new center, is being held in Washington from July 9 to 11, 2024. The main topics of discussion included the situation in Ukraine and related cyber threats.
Cybersecurity experts note the activity of such groups as APT 29 (CozyBear, MidnightBlizzard) and APT 28 (FancyBear), which are associated with foreign intelligence services. These groups are responsible for major incidents such as the 2020 SolarWinds hack and recent attacks on Microsoft and EU diplomatic structures.
Hacker groups such as NoName057, KillNet, and Anonymous Sudan constantly conduct DDoS attacks on government agencies and critical infrastructure in NATO countries.
Hackers who distribute ransomware pose a separate threat. Groups like BlackBasta and Royal (now known as BlackSuit)have targeted private organizations.
