International teams will be on standby in different countries, ready to respond to a cyber attack at any time.
Six European countries have concluded an agreement on the establishment of the EU Cyber Rapid Response Teams (CRRTs), led by Lithuania. The document was signed in Zagreb (Croatia) by the Ministers of Defense of Lithuania, Estonia, Croatia, Poland, the Netherlands and Romania. Belgium, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Slovenia and Finland are still observers and may soon become full members of CRRTs.
Under the agreement, international CRRTs teams will be on standby in different countries, ready to respond to a cyber attack at any time. A document entitled “Memorandum of Understanding” legally allows the use of cyber forces in the jurisdictions of different countries, defines the mechanism of their work, legal status, role and procedures.
Cyber forces will be able to take preventive measures and conduct risk assessments, as well as provide assistance to European institutions, other EU countries and partners. The project will also facilitate the exchange of best practices and increase the efficiency of the use of technological and human resources in the fight against cyber threats.
Lithuania spokewith the proposal to create a cybernetic rapid reaction force in 2017 as part of the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) project. “I am very pleased that CRRTs were the first PESCO project implemented,” said Lithuanian Minister of Defense Raimundas Karoblis.[/B] [/SIZE]
