Ciaran Martin – introducing the Annual Review 2019

"It is a privilege to present the National Cyber Security Centre’s third Annual Review.

"It’s very hard to condense the world-leading work the NCSC does in 12 months into one document, but I hope this Review gives you an insight into what we are doing to understand, reduce and respond to cyber attacks.

"There certainly is a lot to be proud of – for example, thanks to the innovation of our technical experts, we have been able to increase the number of threat indicators we share by tenfold to more than 1,000 per month, and the speed we process them from days to seconds.

"There is of course much work to do – as shown by the 658 incidents we supported this year. For the first time ever, in this review, these incidents are broken down into the most affected sectors. We believe that being transparent helps to target the interventions we need to help those who are most vulnerable."

Be engaged, join the conversation

In previous years, we have given readers of the Annual Review the opportunity to crack a code and 2019 is no different.

The ADFGVX cipher was a field cipher used by the German Army during the First World War and it is named after the six possible letters used in the cipher text: A, D, F, G, V and X. This is the cipher we are using this year so find out more and crack the code inside the Annual Review. There's also a great opportunity to guess some of the most hacked passwords in use...
