The first exercise, a staged attack on the financial sector, will take place later this year, Downing Street said.

The "unprecedented" arrangement between the two countries was announced as Prime Minister David Cameron held talks with US President Barack Obama.

"It's also about protecting people's data, people's finances - these attacks can have real consequences to people's prosperity."
