National Guardsmen just completed a two-week training exercise which saw them respond to a simulated cyberattack that took out critical utilities across the United States. The exercises have become an annual event, but this year took on even more significance after coming on the heels of several major ransomware and cyber attacks that crippled large parts of American infrastructure in recent months.
The exercises were part of the seventh Cyber Yankee, an training event that brings together guardsmen from throughout the New England region to test their responses against simulated cyberattacks. This year’s exercises simulated a cyber attack that targeted utilities on the West Coast before spreading east across the United States towards New England. In addition to offering hands-on training on how to respond to active cyberattacks, the exercise was also intended to build cyber defense collaboration between the National Guard and private sector partners, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and U.S. Cyber Command, among others.

They already know that, but the damage that would be done to their economies would be equally devastating over time. We don’t need MAD anymore. We’re so interconnected globally that it’s a virtual suicide pact among first world nations.
Every time we have one of these simulations, the real one follows up right behind it: see Sandy Hook, 9/11, Covid 19.
The FBI? Hell they're working for the other side. Don't let them plan!
I’m sure they stepped in to save the simulated day as well. USA, USA
They just did? Just now? Just in the last few minutes? And as far as bringing the grid down, I didn’t see anything happen. It must have been while I was asleep because I just woke up.
Who needs a cyber attack when you have leftists making our energy policies.
“I’m sure they stepped in to save the simulated day as well.”
Yeah, I wonder if they would ever admit than an exercise ended with “Damnation Alley.”

Centuries ago, the mysterious “Sea Peoples” devastated Mediterranean civilizations by disrupting their trade routes.
Not if they ended up inheriting North America, which has long been a goal. That’s a way for them to escape their own pollution and control their food supply.

Digitalisation is accelerating everywhere. New digital ecosystems are forming all around us, creating unnoticed linkages across services and supply chains.
As the world grows more interconnected, the speed of development makes it difficult to assess the impact of change.
A secure approach to digital development today will determine the shape of our future for decades to come. Having the right skills in place is key to protecting organisations from attack now.
What is Cyber Polygon?
Cyber Polygon is a unique cybersecurity event that combines the world’s largest technical training exercise for corporate teams and an online conference featuring senior officials from international organisations and leading corporations.
The 2021 conference discusses the key risks of digitalisation and best practice for the secure development of digital ecosystems.
The 2021 technical exercise builds and tests the skills needed to protect our industries, centring on a targeted supply-chain attack.
Every year, the training brings together a global businesses and government agencies to collaborate on technical exercises. The live stream draws in millions of spectators from across the world.
2020 results
120 teams from 29 countries took part in the technical cybersecurity training in 2020. The live stream viewership reached 5 million from 57 nations.
A comprehensive report with detailed results of Cyber Polygon 2020 is available here.
Cyber Polygon in 2021
This year discussions during the live-streamed conference will centre on secure development of ecosystems. With global digitalisation further accelerating and people, companies, and countries becoming ever more interconnected, security of every single element of a supply-chain is
key to ensuring the sustainability of the whole system.
During the technical exercise, participants will hone their practical skills in mitigating a targeted supply chain attack on a corporate ecosystem in real time.
The event will be held online on July 9th. Applications from organisations wishing to join the training are open. See further details on the official website.

It’s not one grid, one network, one distribution system, and none of them can be entirely shut down.
“Why invade... China or Russia could shut down our grid or water processing plants and 90% of us would be dead in a year, 98% in 2 years.”
Don’t interrupt the Army when they are allowing the cute sensitive cartoon soldier with the 2 Mommies to show off her Warrior skills. She has to get that participation combat ribbon in order to be promoted to Field Marshal.
strangly enough, our company’s VPN is in New England - and just started going bonkers in the last 45 minutes. It just calmed down.
Interesting...
update on this, folks: the VPN is still acting up, and no one who should know seems to have an answer at this time.
So another words, that’s about to happen. Before 911 they were wargaming hijacked airliners. Before coronavirus they were wargaming a coronavirus outbreak and lockdown. So this is their next plan to unleash on us?
Why even bother with a ‘cyber attack’? Get 10 people to go to random spots around the country where there are high power lines nearby. Tie a bit of tinsel, or copper wire to the back of a drone, and have them short across the power lines.
This is easy, cheap, anonymous, and effective.
Killing infrastructure like this is brain-dead simple.
Another tactic would be to hit some of the really large transformers with similar attacks. If you can destroy enough transformers, getting the power back online is not as easy as you think, since the really big transformers are mostly made overseas and can take months to deliver.
