Episode description

Sean Ruddy and his team of operator-soldiers from the US Cyber Brigade entered a Locked Shields, a NATO-organized cyber-defense war game that pits teams from dozens of countries against “live-fire” attacks.

Locked Shields challenges participating countries to show off their defensive prowess, rather than offensive firepower.
