We have crossed over to a new nuclear era in which cyber capabilities transform the nuclear risks. All countries with nuclear weapons are vulnerable to cyberattacks, and the potential consequences of any nuclear launch due to miscalculation, unauthorized use, or a failure of nuclear deterrence would have global implications. A successful cyberattack on nuclear weapons or related systems—including nuclear planning systems, early warning systems, communication systems, and delivery systems, in addition to the nuclear weapons themselves—could have catastrophic consequences. – Euro-Atlantic Security Leadership Group Photo: NATO defense ministers at NATO headquarters 2011
