Organisations urged to take action on cyber security

Lindy Cameron, CEO of the National Cyber Security Centre, has written an article in the Sunday Telegraph urging UK organisations to take action during heightened tensions.

The article highlights the current situation in and around Ukraine, actions organisations should take when the cyber threat is heightened and the UK governments assessment of Russian involvement in DDoS attacks on Ukraine.

The UK has assessed that Russia was involved in distributed denial of service (DDoS) incidents that took place in Ukraine earlier this week. Based on technical information, the NCSC assess that it is almost certain that the GRU were involved in the DDoS cyber attacks that took place in Ukraine on 15 and 16 February.
