That's why Admiral Stavridis sees cyber security as the top challenge for his successor. "Society is so dependent on all these cyber capabilities, and yet our level of preparation is very low, particularly as an alliance."
It's also relatively easy. Anyone with decent computer skills can do it.
NATO does have a command center for cyber defense and a cyber research center in Estonia. But Admiral Stavridis says even within the alliance, international cooperation on cyber defense is limited.
"This is, of course, an area in which nations are extremely sensitive and are very concerned about showing what they know to each other. But we've got to get over that because the threat is very high and very real."
Cyber attacks can range from nuisance attacks to strikes at computers that control banks or air traffic. There have been thefts of government intelligence and corporate secrets. And cyber attacks can have physical consequences, like disabling power plants. Last week, U.S. officials said a cyber attack helped a gang steal $45 million from cash machines around the world.针对企业和政府的网络攻击在今天已经屡见不鲜。嫌犯被捕，电脑被没收的事件时常发生。
因此，海军上将斯塔夫里迪斯将网络安全问题视为其继任者将面临的最大挑战。“现代社会对网络非常依赖，但我们面对网络攻击等问题时，准备又不够充分，特别是组成联盟时，这方面的准备更是捉襟见肘。”
网络攻击也相对比较容易操作，任何一个精通计算机技术的人都可以实施网络攻击。
北约确实在爱沙尼亚设有针对网络防御的指挥中心和网络研究中心。但斯塔夫里迪斯表示，就算是在盟国间，网络防御方面的国际合作也是十分有限的：“当然，各国都对这个领域都极其敏感，也对披露自身所掌握的别国信息十分谨慎。但我们必须克服这些困难，因为网络攻击的威胁极大而且并非子虚乌有。”
网络攻击形式多样，有妨害攻击，也有针对控制银行或航空的电脑的攻击。网络攻击被用于窃取政府情报和商业机密，也可以产生有形的影响，比如破坏发电站。上周，美国官员披露，有一伙罪犯利用网络攻击从世界各地的提款机窃取了4,500万美元。
