Cyber chief: UK facing AI-powered attacks on critical infrastructure within two years

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) warns that UK organisations face artificial intelligence (AI)-powered attacks on critical infrastructure within two years, citing inadequate cyber security investment as a key vulnerability. The agency attributes this exposure to cost-cutting practices that have left longstanding weaknesses unaddressed and calls for urgent investment in organisational resilience.

Why it matters: UK critical infrastructure operators and government agencies must prioritise cyber defence spending now, as AI-enhanced attackers will exploit neglected security gaps within a near-term window.
