NATO’s summit in Warsaw, Poland through July 8 and 9 will include definitions of cyber warfare as a discussion topic, Defense News reported Thursday.
Aaron Mehta writes a source involved in the planning of the summit disclosed that the alliance mulls over a change in its approach to cyber policies.
