Objective: The Members are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence of their Citizens. They therefore agree:
Article 1: In order more effectively to achieve the Objective of this Treaty, the Members, separately and jointly, by means of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid, will maintain, and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist cyber-attack.
Article 2: The Members will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the cyber security of any of the Members is threatened.
Article 3: The Members agree that a cyber-attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, will assist the Member or Members so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Members, such action as it deems necessary, to restore and maintain the security of the Members.
