Infosecurity Europe: NCSC Urges Immediate Action to Boost Resilience as Uncertainty Persists

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) director Paul Chichester emphasized the urgent need for improved collaboration and enhanced cyber resilience among security teams during his speech at Infosecurity Europe. He acknowledged the growing volatility in the cyber threat landscape due to technological change and geopolitical factors.

Key points include the rising complexity of corporate IT environments, the impact of hybrid warfare, and the necessity for organizations to adopt best practices such as reducing attack surfaces and implementing zero trust access controls. Chichester stressed the importance of collective efforts between government and the private sector to tackle these challenges as basic security practices remain vital in the evolving threat landscape.
