Locked Shields

NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (NATO CCDCOE) facilitates the world’s largest and most complex international live-fire cyber exercise, Locked Shields. The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre leads Australia’s involvement through the Partner Run and now in 2024 the Australian Team.

Australia’s involvement in Locked Shields is a display of our nation’s capability and increasing strength in the international ecosystem as the cyber defence of sovereign critical infrastructure comes into even sharper focus.

There are many roles involved in the Partner Run and Locked Shields event including:

  • System and Network Administration 

  • Web application technologies and development

  • Computer Network Defence

  • Forensic Analysis

  • Special Systems

  • Public Relations and Media

  • Legal Aspects

  • Misinformation Campaigns and StratCom

It is necessary that we provide best-in-world training for those in Australia who protect our critical systems. Regardless of public or private sector control, intense training exercises and live-fire simulations, are essential to upskill these people.

Utilising our national and international networks and partners like NATO CCDCOE, we are making tremendously positive steps towards building our nation’s cyber capability.
