NCSC CEO: Hostile states linked to three-quarters of cyber attacks affecting UK's critical systems

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) CEO stated that hostile state actors are responsible for approximately 75 percent of cyber attacks targeting the country's critical infrastructure, according to remarks made at a Royal United Services Institute security lecture.

Why it matters: UK critical infrastructure operators and national security officials need to prioritize defenses and incident response capabilities against nation-state adversaries, as they represent the dominant threat to essential services.
