The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), established in 1949, is a cornerstone of security and freedom for its 32 member states, fostering cooperation in defense and democratic values. It emphasizes collective defense, including cyber defense as a core task, and the peaceful resolution of disputes, with military action as a last resort. In 2016, NATO recognized cyberspace as a domain of operations, alongside air, land, and sea, and has since developed robust cyber defense strategies. This includes the creation of a Computer Incident Response Capability and the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, dedicated to protecting networks, sharing information, and enhancing member states' cybersecurity capabilities through exercises and research.
