U.K. and U.S. Intelligence Agencies to up Cyber Security Cooperation Reuters (01/16/15) Britain and the United States are planning to strengthen their cooperation over cybersecurity by establishing cyber cells for sharing intelligence and conducting simulated attacks to test defenses, says British Prime Minister David Cameron. The cooperation will specifically be between Britains GCHQ spy agency and the U.S. National Security Agency, which will conduct joint war games. The first exercise, to be completed later this year, will involve the Bank of England and commercial banks in both the City of London and Wall Street. Cameron is visiting Washington for two days to discuss the economy and security, and to meet with President Barack Obama over how the two nations can work more closely with big Internet companies to monitor communications between terror suspects.
