The risk to government networks and major financial institutions from cyber warfare is increasing every day but what is being done to defend national borders?Estonia is an online savvy state and champion of so called 'e-government,' a paperless system with many government services online.

I was reading the article that in the UK, there are only 40 pple working on defending the UK against Cyber warfare and in China, there is reputed to be about 40,000 pple.

I would surmise that one of the reasons why the WEst is always in the news of being targeted is b/c of the small number of pple involved against cyber warfare.

I've never come across news from a western perspective that China has ever been the target of cyber warfare.
But then again, countries like China obviously won't ever release informatin like that, yes??
