#cybersecurity Industrial organizations that own operational technology (OT) assets were targeted by three new advanced threat groups last year. In total, industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos tracked 10 OT-focused threat groups that had active operations in 2023, but attacks from hacktivists and ransomware gangs that can also cause disruption to industrial activities have also increased. “Motivated by mounting geopolitical tensions, sophisticated threat groups and hacktivists demonstrated the capacity to breach the networks of critical infrastructure and, in some cases, disrupt OT systems,” Dragos said in its annual OT cybersecurity report. “With each passing year, the number of ransomware incidents globally climbs even higher, leading to cascading impacts for virtually every industrial sector, particularly manufacturing.” The quality of vulnerability information for OT assets continues to be lacking. The company found that a third of advisories released last year for vulnerabilities relevant to OT systems contained incorrect data, including the wrong severity score. They also found that around one in three advisories provided no patch when they were published and that 73% had no alternative mitigation, which is critical in sectors where fast patching is not an option because disrupting important industrial processes to deploy firmware updates requires careful planning.

In an increasingly uncertain world, collaboration and cooperation with our international partners has never been more important. To ensure that the UK remains ahead of our adversaries, General Sir Jim Hockenhull met with General Angus Campbell, Chief of Defence Australia, to discuss cyber defence, the AUKUS partnership, and futureproofing our services. The strong relationship between the UK and Australia has always been crucial to the security of Europe and Southeast Asia.
