Website DDoS attacks aim to overwhelm systems, networks or applications so legitimate users cannot access them. Calm, structured action in the early stages can significantly reduce operational and reputational impact.
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.
Read the full piece to see how Connolly believes UK organisations can move beyond firefighting and start building the kind of resilience the current threat landscape demands.
A candid discussion on converged resilience – bringing together leaders to share challenges, insights, and practical steps toward a truly integrated approach to security and risk.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has been forced to halt production after a major cyberattack “severely disrupted” its operations worldwide. As the carmaker races to restore systems, experts warn the incident underscores the vulnerability of modern, digitised manufacturing.
Katie Barnett, Director of Cybersecurity at Toro Solutions, notes that such events highlight a critical blind spot: supply chain resilience.
“While third-party vendors drive efficiency, businesses must ask: Do partners have the right controls in place? Can infiltration be detected early enough to contain the damage?”
Read the full story to explore how the attack unfolded and what it means for operational technology and supply chain security across the automotive sector.
Experts from across security and intelligence explored how shifting geopolitical risks are reshaping organisational strategies to protect people and build resilience.
Superyachts are high-value targets. Explore a complete guide to physical, people, and cyber security measures for safe and discreet protection.
Modern attackers don’t just target one area. They target multiple points, looking for a gap. In most organisations, people work in their own swim lanes so gaps inevitably appear between them. IT focuses on systems, HR on staff, and facilities on physical access. These separate responsibilities inevitably create blind spots. Think about it. IT sees
When businesses look at outsourcing IT, the conversation often starts with costs. How much can we save? How quickly can we reduce overheads? However, the real question you should be asking is: how do we get IT that not only supports the business, but also protects it? That’s where a security-led Managed Service Provider

In a recent podcast between Ocorian and Toro Solutions, Michael Harman and Peter Connolly discussed the increasingly complex risk landscape facing family offices today.
In April 2025, the UK Government unveiled plans for a Cyber Security and Resilience Bill that will expand the scope of regulated organisations, tighten incident reporting deadlines, and give regulators greater powers to strengthen the nation’s critical infrastructure defences.
Operational resilience isn’t just another checkbox on the risk register. It’s the lifeline of your organisation the difference between surviving chaos and folding under pressure.
