Jeremy Fleming, former head of GCHQ, warns that businesses must address increasingly complex cyber attacks on critical national infrastructure (CNI) from state-sponsored actors like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. He highlights methods such as 'pre-positioning', which allows attackers to embed within systems for future strikes. Citing recent incidents like the Salt Typhoon attack, Fleming emphasizes the need for collaboration and information sharing among firms of all sizes to effectively combat these sophisticated threats and bolster national cybersecurity resilience.
"Some of the things we're seeing and the way in which particularly pre-positioning is happening on critical national infrastructure, we haven't seen that before."
"We have to do better, you all have to do better, at sharing your understanding of the threats."
