WASHINGTON \u2013 NATO\u2019s nations need to work to incorporate cyber training into their overall military strategy as opposed to treating it as a specialty, according to a top Estonian military official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe knowledge of cyber must be spread out into a larger, conventional force,\u201d Col. Kaupo Rosin, Estonia\u2019s chief of military intelligence, told Defense News during a recent visit here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosin raised his concern that within Estonia, the military academies are not teaching cyber in that context. That\u2019s part of a broader trend that has stretched across NATO\u2019s members in which cyber is seen as a specialty and not part of an integrated, core curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosin would like to see younger officers learn about cyber techniques and policies at a more holistic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
