The NCSC Says “It Is Time to Act”, But How?

The NCSC Says “It Is Time to Act”, But How?

One theme runs through the NCSC’s latest Annual Review: resilience isn’t optional anymore and as Peter Connolly, CEO of Toro Solutions, points out, many organisations still haven’t built the foundations they need.

Connolly stresses that frameworks like ISO 27001 aren’t about box ticking. They give leaders a clear, practical way to weave security into everyday business, not just the IT team. “It’s a framework that forces you to look at people, processes and physical security as well as the tech,” he says. “Once that thinking becomes part of daily operations, you’re in a far stronger position when something goes wrong.”

His message fits closely with the government’s call for FTSE 350 boards to take cyber risk seriously: resilience has to be led from the top, and it has to be consistent.

How Can Companies Avoid Major Cyber Attacks like JLR’s?

The recent cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has sent shockwaves through the manufacturing sector. With production halted across the UK, China, Slovakia and India, and sensitive data affected, the incident shows just how quickly a single breach can disrupt an entire operation.

In a recent article published by Technology Magazine, Katie Barnett, Director of Cyber Security at Toro Solutions, was quoted highlighting the importance of spotting vulnerabilities across the supply chain early:

“Early detection of supply chain weaknesses is crucial to limiting the impact of such attacks.”

The attack also underscores the value of zero trust architecture in modern manufacturing, ensuring systems are designed to contain threats quickly rather than relying solely on traditional defences.

The full article explores the lessons JLR’s experience offers to businesses everywhere – from protecting operational technology to strengthening supplier networks – and provides practical guidance for avoiding similar disruptions.
