South Korea has become the first Asian country to join North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)’s Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE).
The move will likely to mount tensions with Moscow.
Locked Shields is the world's largest and most complex international real-time cyber defence exercise, organised by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in Tallinn, Estonia.
With Korea’s membership, NATO CCDCOE now has 32 countries as its official members of which 27 NATO member countries, are categorised as sponsoring nations, and five contributing participants which are non-NATO countries.
