earlier this month, when <a href="https://www.verdict.co.uk/how-did-china-hack-the-uk-ministry-of-defence/" target="_blank" >an allegedly Chinese-backed group</a> hacked the names and bank details of thousands of UK MoD personnel.</p><div id="slot-one"></div> <p>As seen with the MoD’s decision to delegate cybersecurity of its payroll systems to Sopra Steria’s SSCL, these institutions often outsource cybersecurity operations to the same type of company – and CISO – surveyed in the report.</p> <p>“While no set of standards or frameworks will eliminate the certainty of an eventual incident, NCSC guidance is there to help protect CISOs, who shouldn’t just ignore nationwide protocols,” Absolute Security’s international vice president Andy Ward tells <em>Verdict</em>. “Disregarding NCSC advice puts organisations at much greater risk. It jeopardises jobs, causes significant financial and reputation damage and potentially even heaps personal liability on security leaders.” </p> <p>The report was based on responses from CISOs across a range of industries, Ward tells <em>Verdict</em>: “50% IT/tech, 10% retail, 10% finance, 10% manufacturing, 5% education, 5% healthcare, 5% legal, 5% engineering.”</p><div class="gdm-company-profile-unit" id="company_profile_form"> <h1 class="gdm-company-profile-unit__heading">How well do you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">really</span> know your competitors?</h1> <p class="gdm-company-profile-unit__sub-heading">Access the most comprehensive Company Profiles on the market, powered by GlobalData.

Individual organisations are surely responsible for their resilience strategy, not some form of national resilience strategy.”</p> <p>The divide between businesses who believe in a government-led, nationally coherent cyber strategy versus individual corporate decision-making came to a head last week.</p> <p>UK government officials are set to propose a new bill obliging businesses to <a href="https://therecord.media/uk-proposal-mandatory-reporting-ransomware-attacks" target="_blank" >report all ransomware attacks</a>, <em>Recorded Future News</em> reported. The proposal would also make it mandatory for cyberattack victims to seek a license before making any extortion payments.</p> <p>Pointing to Caesars’ decision last year to pay a ransom, contrasted to MGM’s refusal, the anonymous source concludes that “companies should have the option of paying a ransom if it’s not illegal to do so”.</p> <p>“Boards have the responsibility of keeping the company’s operations running. The cyber authorities don’t – they don’t have companies to run. There is a risk in paying ransoms, and it furthers the ransomware industry, but paying a ransom is a business decision.”</p> <div id="Sgpollsputhere"></div></p><div id="slot-three"></div></p>  <div
