NCSC; More to do every week |
The National Cyber Security Centre which is part of GCHQ, last week welcomed specialists from across government, industry & law enforcement to the start of their flagship CYBERUK 2018 summit. Criminals are launching more online attacks on UK businesses than ever before, it was revealed in a report published to mark the start of the country’s biggest cyber security conference. 'The Cyber Threat to UK Business', jointly authored by the NCSC and the National Crime Agency (NCA) in collaboration with industry partners, has been published to mark the start of the conference. The report details some of the biggest cyber attacks from the last year and notes that risks to UK businesses continue to grow. Emerging threats are also highlighted, such as theft from cloud storage and cryptojacking, in which computers are hijacked to create crypto currencies such as bitcoin. The report acknowledges that a basic cyber security posture is no longer enough and most attacks will be defeated by organisations which prioritise cyber security & work closely with government and law enforcement. |
