TOKYO -- The U.S., Australia, India and Japan have begun working on how to coordinate the sharing of information on cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure facilities. Data on attacks will be used to enable each country to quickly prepare defense measures.
The four members of the Quad framework aim to reach an agreement at their summit in Australia in late May, according to sources in the Quad. Russia's use of "hybrid warfare" -- the combined use of cyberattacks and conventional weapons -- in its invasion of Ukraine has made stronger cyber defense an urgent priority in deterring both it and China.
