Richard Horne, the new head of the NCSC, emphasized that organizations are underestimating the severity of the cyber threats from hostile states and criminals, warning that aggression, particularly from Russia and China, is escalating. He highlighted how these nations are using cyber attacks to further their geopolitical aims and interfere with democratic institutions. The frequency of these attacks is growing, fueled by ongoing conflicts and showcasing a volatile threat landscape that cannot be overlooked.
The report points to specific incidents, such as Russia’s use of destructive malware against Ukraine and its attempts to disrupt NATO operations. China has been implicated in cyber activities targeting various sectors, demonstrating sophisticated capabilities to influence beyond its borders. These threats underscore a need for increased attention and coordinated efforts to address the evolving landscape of cyber warfare, reflecting the urgent risks faced by national security.
