The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a warning to companies to bolster their defences in light of Russia’s recent cyber attacks on the Ukraine. Cyber attacks are a very useful offensive tool to use alongside conventual warfare as they are able to disrupt key systems within a country, such as power and telecommunications. The UK’s potential involvement in any conflict makes the country a more likely target for sophisticated nation state-level attacks targeting companies that may provide services that support, or themselves are considered, critical national infrastructure.
However, the warning goes above and beyond and is advising every company to strengthen their cyber defences. The NCSC is advising companies to become more cyber resilient, which is a term that the UK government are also using in their “Government Cyber Security Strategy 2022-2030” document.
