E-stonia to lead the way in cyber defense for NATO

E-stonia, that burgeoning technology center and booming economic wunderkind, is sharing its cyber defense expertise with the other 25 nations of NATO.  A new Cyber Defense Center of Excellence is being set up in Tallinn by seven NATO nations including the US. Each will provide staff members who will concentrate on developing defense methods.

Frequent readers will be surprised to see me upbeat about anything led by a government initiative but I feel the same way about Estonia that many people feel about the Israeli Defense Forces: being on the front lines of battle has an amazing way of cutting through bureaucracy and BS.  This is one group to pay attention to. I hope they become the focus for worldwide cyber defense and even host conferences in the future to share what they develop.
