Following Richard Horne’s comments at CYBERUK on the “perfect storm” for cyber attacks created by AI and geopolitical tensions, Mike Maddison, CEO of NCC Group shares his perspective on how organisations and governments must respond as cyber risk increasingly intersects with national security.
“Resilience is now being tested at the intersection of AI and geopolitical tensions. We’ve seen first-hand that there is no longer a clear distinction between cyber activity and national security, with nation states using cyber capabilities for disruption, influence and deterrence. As critical infrastructure and supply chains are largely owned and operated by the private sector, organisations now play a direct role in national security and must ensure they are resilient to minimise the impact of attacks - whether from cyber criminals or nation states.”
“AI is accelerating cyber risk in both scale and complexity, and we advise our clients that underestimating this shift could quickly leave them exposed. Long-term national security now demands a far more deliberate approach - combining advanced technologies with strong human expertise, active board-level accountability and rigorous governance.”
