Locked Shields

Locked Shields is an annual cyber defence exercise organised by NATO's Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in Tallinn since 2010. The format is usually that a red team simulates a hostile attack while blue teams from the participating nations simulate their coordination and defence against this.^[1]

The performance of teams is assessed using a mix of automated and manual scoring.^[2] In 2022, there were 24 teams with an average of 50 experts in each team.^[3] The team from Finland was declared as the 2022 winner for the excellence of their situation reporting and solid defence.^[4]
