US urges NATO to build 'cyber shield'
(AFP) - 1 day ago

BRUSSELS - NATO must build a "cyber shield" to protect the transatlantic alliance from any Internet threats to its military and economic infrastructures, a top US defence official said Wednesday.

Cyber security is a "critical element" for the 28-nation alliance to embrace at its summit of leaders in Lisbon on November 19-20, US Deputy Defence Secretary William Lynn said in Brussels.

"The alliance has a crucial role to play in extending a blanket of security over our networks," Lynn said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5icuj7DWWR3UD3_H-xy9j4cAg4i5A
