In the exercise, the Blue Team had to defend itself from the cyber attacks of the Red Team. The target was the fortified water plant supplying the fictitious Blue Team nation of a friendly ally, "Berylia," which had been experiencing sharply deteriorating security. It was, as its organizers observed , "the largest and most complex international live-fire cyber defense exercise in the world." Since its formation in 2008, the NATO cyber center has been housed in a red brick building, at the heart of a 19th-century Russian czarist military compound. Indeed, hackers are not only the best offense but the best defense as well.
