U.S., NATO to meet for cyber defense summit this month

The United States and NATO are convening summit this month focused on strengthening member cyber defenses, a senior administration official said.

The U.S. will co-lead the NATO Cyber Defense Pledge conference, which will take place before the end of November, the official said without providing exact dates.

“The conflict in Ukraine has really jump-started the tightening and building of the NATO partnership to address current threats,” said the official, who was granted anonymity to openly discuss U.S. cybersecurity strategy.
