Locked Shields 2024, the world’s most advanced live-fire cyber defence exercise, concluded with an unprecedented twist. Despite the exercise’s competitive nature, participating teams formed a grand coalition by sharing information. They demonstrated that the true power lies in fostering collaboration to enhance collective security rather than competing for the exercise’s victory.
“The purpose of the exercise is to help our nations develop their capabilities to face cyber threats as a coalition,” stated Dr Mart Noorma, the Director of the NATO CCDCOE. “We have real threats around us, and most of our participants came out of the trenches of real cyber warfare to participate in Locked Shields. I am confident they will go back defending their nations stronger than ever,” he emphasised.
Locked Shields scoring provides feedback to participating teams to stimulate their further development and benchmarking. The three highest-scoring teams of Locked Shield 2024 are:
Latvia, together with a team of NATO entities
Finland-Poland
Estonia-France
“Every year, Locked Shields aims to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in cyber defence training, and 2024 has been no exception,” stated LtCol Urmet Tomp, Director of the exercise. “The skills trained here directly translate to stronger national defences against real-world cyber threats, enhancing our collective security,” he added.
Compared to previous exercises, notable cooperation stories emerged. Initiated and led by Austria-Switzerland and Finland-Poland, Blue Teams formed further coalitions for information sharing on common threats and early warning alerts. Once again showcasing the collaborative spirit of the exercise.
“International cooperation in cyberspace is the key to success. As the world’s biggest exercise of its kind, Locked Shields is one of the best examples of high-level international cooperation. We are very proud to host it in Estonia and to see how the NATO CCDCOE and the teams involved with its organisation take it to new, successively impressive levels each year,” said Minster of Defence of Estonia Mr Hanno Pevkur.
NATO cyber defense exercise in Estonia ended on Friday (5)

just curious do you ever post warnings when left-leaning organizations are quoted?
The Gateway Pundit (TGP) is an American far-right fake news website. The website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.
" ...Let’s take Amsterdam, the capital. Amsterdam currently consists of 56% migrants. The Hague, 58% migrants. Rotterdam, almost 60% migrants. Of course, most of these immigrants come from non-Christian, non-western, African and Middle Eastern countries. Conclusion, the Dutch population is already outnumbered in the majority of our cities. But let’s look onwards. London, 54% migrants. Again, conclusion, native population outnumbered. Brussels, color me shocked, 70% migrants. Conclusion, native population, majorly outnumbered..."
