Preparing for a Cyber Attack
General Johannes Kert, Military Representative of the Estonian Delegation to NATO and former Commander of the Estonian Armed Forces, will brief delegates on Estonia’s response to cyber attacks earlier this year. General Kert will suggest new ways for governments, organisations and companies to prepare to meet the threat of a cyber attack, based on Estonia’s experience. Dr Harold Elletson, Chairman of the New Security Foundation, who will chair the forum, said "I am delighted that General Kert will join us in Berlin and suggest lessons that other countries can learn from Estonia’s recent experience of cyber attack. Following the discovery of concerted attacks on US, UK and German government targets, this is clearly a problem that is not just confined to Estonia but needs to be properly understood by both governments and the private sector. We are only beginning to come to terms with the implications and possible consequences of state–sponsored cyber attacks." Other topics for discussion at the forum will include terrorist use of the web for training, online training for emergency preparedness and the role of e-learning in improving security awareness.
