Based at the alliance's cyber defence centre in Estonia, the exercises last three days and include participants in over 30 European states.

"Cyber attacks are a daily reality and they are growing in sophistication and complexity," Jamie Shea, a NATO official specialising in emerging security challenges, said in a statement.

"NATO has to keep pace with this evolving threat," he said.

Around 400 legal and IT experts as well as government officials will take part in the operation code-named "Cyber Coalition 2013".
