NCSC warns of growing cyber risks to critical infrastructure
Digwatch
Hostile state actors were linked to around three-quarters of cyber attacks affecting the UK’s critical national infrastructure over the past year, according to the head of the National Cyber Security Centre.
Speaking at the Royal United Services Institute’s Annual Security Lecture, NCSC CEO Dr Richard Horne said the agency managed more than 200 cyber incidents affecting critical national infrastructure and its supporting ecosystem in the year to May 2026.
Horne said around 75% of those incidents were believed to be linked to state actors. He warned that hostile states are increasingly targeting the systems that underpin essential services in the UK.
The NCSC chief said cybersecurity should not be treated only as a technical risk to be managed, but as an ongoing contest with capable adversaries. He urged executives and board members to improve resilience by understanding their exposure to threats, strengthening proven security fundamentals and ensuring organisations can continue operating and recover quickly after attacks.
