AI reveals critical infrastructure cyberattack patterns

NATO tested cyber defenders to maintain systems and power grids during a simulated cyberattack, with critical systems at risk

NATO ran a simulated experiment late last year that saw six teams of cyber defenders from NATO allies tasked with setting up computer-based systems and power grids at an imaginary military base and keeping them running during a cyberattack. If hackers interfered with system operations or the power went down for more than 10 minutes, critical systems could go offline.
