Top Tech News : Europe Tests Cyberwar Defenses in Simulation Exercise

"European member states have tested their responsiveness to a cyberattack in a large-scale exercise that simulated attempts by hackers to paralyze critical online services. The aim of the test was to enhance understanding of how cyber-incidents are handled and test communication links and procedures in case of a real large-scale cyber incident." ~unknown

One thing I wonder. How did the E.U. states perform in this experiment?
If I am brutally honest in this situation, I do not believe the U.S. would perform very well in this. That is not to say that we do not have good people to allocate to it, or resources to make it better. It just seems to me in my studies that we are just simply ill prepared to hold our own in this arena.
