The 2021 NCSC Annual Review declared that ransomware has now become the most significant cyber threat facing the UK, with the impact of an attack on critical national infrastructure stated in the UK National Cyber Strategy 2022 as potentially as harmful as state-sponsored espionage.
So there’s still a huge amount of work to do to protect not just our digital economy, but also businesses and citizens who can be victims of this growing threat. This is why Plexal and the NCSC have identified ransomware as the next challenge we’re focusing on with our NCSC for Startups initiative.
