Citation :
JENS STOLTENBERG [NATO Secretary General]: NATO takes cyber threats very seriously because we have seen more and more cyberattacks and cyberattacks can be as damaging as kinetic attacks, and that’s the reason why actually NATO decided, not so many years ago, back in 2014, that cyberattacks can trigger Article 5, can trigger a response from the whole Alliance.  And we know that, at the end of the day, that will be a political decision when to trigger Article 5.  Our response will always be measured, defensive and proportionate.  Therefore, we will assess the attack and then decide how to respond.  And it's not always obvious that given a cyberattack that we will respond in cyberspace, there are other ways to respond to cyberattacks.  What we have done is that we are significantly increasing our ability to defend ourselves against cyberattacks, both in NATO networks, but also to help Allies improve their cyber defences.  We help countries with technology, with exercises, we have a centre of excellent where we share best practices and we have a team of 200 cyber experts which are ready to be deployed in different NATO Allied countries if needed, to help them defend their cyber networks.  So, we are doing a lot to strengthen our ability to respond to cyber threats.
