It's like a scrimmage for cybersecurity.

With Russian and Chinese cyber threats seemingly around every corner, the EU is taking its stance.

And their response? War games.

The Guardian covered how the EU is planning to practice for cyber attacks:

Pekka Haavisto, Finland’s foreign minister, said an increase in the prevalence of meddling required a reaction from the 28 member states. During meetings in Helsinki in July and September, EU interior and finance ministers will be asked to manage fictional scenarios.

Haavisto said: "We want the union and member states to strengthen their capacities to prevent and respond. Military and civilian authorities can only do in times of crisis what they have been trained for."
