🔒 Just Released: DSIT Cyber Breaches Survey 🚀 Sharing insights from the latest Cyber Security Breaches Survey commissioned by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT)! This comprehensive study provides a crucial snapshot of cyber security in UK organizations, shedding light on trends and challenges across businesses, charities, and educational institutions. 🔍 Key Findings: 🔹 Half of businesses (50%) and around a third of charities (32%) have reported experiencing cyber security breaches or attacks in the past year. And here’s a secret: threats usually don’t differentiate based on location. 🔹 When excluding phishing-related cyber crimes, the survey estimates that 3% of businesses have faced at least one non-phishing cyber incident in the last 12 months. 🔹 Encouragingly, organizations have improved their adoption of common cyber controls, including up-to-date malware protection, restricting administration rights, network firewalls, and agreed processes for handling phishing emails. 📊 Noteworthy Differences: 🔸 Smaller organizations lag behind medium/large ones in crucial areas:   ➡️ Only 31% of all businesses have completed cyber security risk assessments in the last year, compared to 72% of large businesses.   ➡️ Security monitoring tool usage stands at 33% for all businesses, contrasting with 71% for large businesses.   ➡️ Large businesses lead in reviewing security within their supply chain (48% vs. 11% for all businesses). 💼 Key Takeaways: (a) Smaller businesses aiming to collaborate with larger organizations must elevate their cyber security practices, especially considering the emphasis on supply chain security reviews. (b) While phishing remains a significant threat, it's essential to recognize the existence of other cyber risks and prioritize comprehensive security measures.

🙌 It’s great to see call for reform of the outdated Computer Misuse Act 1990 from CyberUp Campaign supporters NCC Group in their latest report ‘A Digital Dawn for Cyber Security Policy’, published by fellow campaign supporter techUK. 💻 Together, we have long been calling for a ‘statutory defence’ to be adopted as part of reform to the Act, in order to allow cyber security professionals to conduct research without one hand tied behind their backs. 🛡 This proposal would boost the cybersecurity industry by ensuring that those who are attempting to defend our nation's businesses and public services are protected from unjust prosecution for their cybersecurity research. 👉 Read more on the policies NCC Group have proposed to upgrade the UK’s cybersecurity: https://lnkd.in/eX7P5mAp #ComputerMisuseAct #cybersecurity #CMAReform

Interesting move by NHS England to move away from the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (which incorporated the Minimum Cyber Security Standard and GDPR Security Outcomes and was designed to meet the #Cyber and #InformationGovernance requirements for healthcare organisations) to the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) as per https://lnkd.in/ezA2j_-w I fully accept the move towards CAF for Cyber might make more sense, but CAF is not an Information Governance framework. Does anyone in the NHS IG space know how NHS England plan on maintaining the linkage with the NDG Data Security Standards which came from the Hannigan review? #BeyondCyber #SafeNotSecure #GovernanceFirst
