NCSC Warns of Emerging Threat to Critical National Infrastructure On
April 19, the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) called for increased protection of critical national infrastructure (CNI) against cyber attacks. CNI organizations are strongly encouraged to follow NCSC advice on steps to take when cyber threat is heightened. The emerging threat comes from state-aligned groups, and their attacks would likely take the form of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, website defacements, or the spread of misinformation. At
FTI Consulting, we recognize the importance of safeguarding CNI and fully support the call to action. It is imperative for organizations to take their advice seriously and prioritize the implementation of robust security protocols, conduct regular vulnerability assessments, and stay up-to-date with the latest threats and attack methods, so we can better protect our vital systems and way of life.
