WEBVTT 00:00.360 --> 00:06.980 What. The first ever dedicated review of the alliance inside 00:06.980 --> 00:10.580 the defense effort's. It's a sign that the issue of cyber defense 00:10.580 --> 00:14.310 has reached the very top of NATO is agenda given the evolving 00:14.310 --> 00:17.650 nature of the challenge the alliance needs to continuously develop 00:17.650 --> 00:22.070 its capabilities to improve threat detection reduce vulnerabilities 00:22.070 --> 00:24.230 and respond faster to attacks. 00:25.170 --> 00:28.830 The same issues. What also the subject of a very different gathering 00:28.830 --> 00:30.220 in Amsterdam recently. 00:31.710 --> 00:35.430 At the I T security conference hack in the box many of the world's 00:35.430 --> 00:39.220 leading hackers and I eighty security professionals learned about 00:39.220 --> 00:43.200 the latest trends and threats in cyberspace Edwards Schwartz 00:43.200 --> 00:46.980 works for our essay and I E T security company that counts NATO 00:47.010 --> 00:50.640 among its customers many of the people here working some aspect 00:50.640 --> 00:53.750 of computer network defense whether it's where you for governing 00:53.750 --> 00:56.630 agency a bank and energy company. 00:57.160 --> 01:00.550 The gonna try to figure out how can we get better at what think 01:00.550 --> 01:03.140 that work what we're doing that's really what this is about is 01:03.140 --> 01:07.100 getting better techniques becoming faster becoming smarter these 01:07.100 --> 01:10.450 conferences that are technical nature really help provide this 01:10.450 --> 01:15.600 capabilities and skills to these very leads. Technicians and. Engineers. 01:17.500 --> 01:22.200 The bill and can of beer and is a hacker turned. I eighty security 01:22.200 --> 01:26.280 professional who founded the conference is motto is keep knowledge 01:26.280 --> 01:30.030 free the best way to make cyberspace more secure. He says is 01:30.030 --> 01:34.200 by sharing information with everyone the public industry governments 01:34.230 --> 01:38.300 and the military it's I think improve so everything us about somewhere. 01:38.300 --> 01:41.980 You can expected to be an overnight solution at tinker. The fact 01:41.980 --> 01:45.140 that you receive a few more military at as well as one thousand 01:45.140 --> 01:48.890 people of the coming to conferences like I can about and To learn 01:48.920 --> 01:51.960 but also have discussion to nothing that's that's the main thing. 01:51.960 --> 01:53.820 It's actually dead to realize that. 01:54.660 --> 01:57.290 You don't know editing and that might be some you'll that when 01:57.290 --> 01:57.870 the something. 01:58.530 --> 02:01.280 That you don't and it's worth having composition and that is 02:01.280 --> 02:05.150 just during them all those conversations do take place informally 02:05.150 --> 02:08.980 at events like this Schwartz confirms. He says collaboration 02:08.980 --> 02:13.060 against cyber threats is vital as attacks are increasingly becoming 02:13.060 --> 02:17.180 too sophisticated for anyone organization or country to deal 02:17.180 --> 02:17.980 with alone. 02:18.500 --> 02:21.990 If one country nor one organization is trying to just defend 02:21.990 --> 02:24.940 themselves without clive ratings others. It's like living on 02:24.940 --> 02:27.830 an island you know you be attacking. You're wondering. Why is 02:27.830 --> 02:31.800 it happening to me. So organizations like NATO euro poll. 02:32.010 --> 02:36.370 Interpol other organizations in the USA perform collaboration. 02:36.490 --> 02:39.960 It's the power of many collaborated with one another it really 02:40.150 --> 02:44.320 gives the power of intelligence the power of clever eighteenth 02:44.350 --> 02:47.280 you can find out about these attacks your that information among 02:47.280 --> 02:51.010 one another in and have a lot more leg up on the adversary a 02:51.010 --> 02:53.930 lot more success in terms of detecting and stopping what they 02:53.930 --> 02:57.820 doing last year alone NATO dealt with over two thousand five 02:57.820 --> 03:01.990 hundred cases of abnormal cyber activity and intrusion attempts. 03:02.650 --> 03:06.150 The alliance is considering the scope for increasing its collaborate 03:06.150 --> 03:10.200 shalom sharing more information more common training and this 03:10.200 --> 03:13.450 they'd listing best practices adjust some of the issues on the 03:13.450 --> 03:16.990 agenda Schwartz says the military has been taking the threat 03:16.990 --> 03:19.950 seriously but it's a fast moving target. 03:20.620 --> 03:25.210 Why I think that the military and a certain aspects of the government 03:25.210 --> 03:28.620 sector have typically in on the leading edge of a lot of its 03:28.870 --> 03:31.960 high that's true in the U.S. it's certainly true in a lot of your. 03:32.500 --> 03:36.140 I'd Stephanie to you and the UK in and in other parts of the world. 03:36.300 --> 03:39.790 I have is a lot of the world and I believe that to be true of several. 03:40.320 --> 03:42.840 You know I E I think while some people may see the government 03:42.840 --> 03:46.320 is slow to respond in some categories of what they do insider 03:46.320 --> 03:49.880 security the military as recognize for a while that this very 03:49.880 --> 03:51.910 important area and the need to invest in that. 03:52.640 --> 03:56.430 Jim manic. Oh teaches web masters to create more secure websites 03:56.430 --> 04:00.530 both professionally and for a charity called a wasp for him sharing 04:00.530 --> 04:03.510 knowledge freely is all about leveling the playing field. 04:03.510 --> 04:07.970 So that no one group organization on nation can get too far ahead 04:07.970 --> 04:12.200 of the game and dominates cyberspace. This is like that another 04:12.200 --> 04:15.820 new erupt. It's another for mope weapon the to the site the world 04:15.820 --> 04:20.380 of cyber. So I see the U.S. migrating into army navy air force 04:20.640 --> 04:24.050 cyber force marines to hold mother branch of the military denied 04:24.050 --> 04:26.990 few was needed. I think it's a critical for NATO. 04:27.710 --> 04:31.860 Just like you had to once upon a time build new aircraft in higher 04:31.860 --> 04:35.720 the first generation pilots and train them and NATO is going 04:35.750 --> 04:40.730 to need need to make sure those capabilities system of fact of 04:40.730 --> 04:44.860 life like that whether such cyber forces will be a fact of life 04:44.860 --> 04:48.700 in future remains to be seen while the alliance is intent on 04:48.700 --> 04:52.410 developing its side. The defenses the debate on how best to do 04:52.410 --> 04:55.340 so has only just begun I'm mike me of their..
