RUSI defence and security think tank<\/li><\/ul><p>The chief of the UK\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre said ransomware was the key threat facing the UK and urged the public and business to take it seriously.<\/p><p>Speaking virtually to an audience at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Annual Security Lecture, Lindy Cameron warned of the \u201ccumulative effect\u201d of failing to properly deal with the rising threat.<\/p><p>She also revealed the threat faced by think tanks, noting that it is \u201calmost certain\u201d that the primary cyber threat they face is from nation state espionage groups, and it is highly likely that they seek to gain strategic insights into government policy and commercially sensitive information.<\/p><p>The CEO of the NCSC \u2013 which is a part of GCHQ \u2013 also warned that for the vast majority of UK citizens and organisations, the primary key threat is not state actors but cyber criminals.<\/p><p>She highlighted the importance of building organisational cyber resilience which, in combination with government capabilities and law enforcement action, is the most effective way to counter threats in cyberspace.<\/p><p><strong>Lindy Cameron<\/strong> said:<\/p><p>\u201cFor most UK citizens and businesses, and indeed for the vast majority of critical national infrastructure providers and government service providers, the primary key threat is not state actors but cyber criminals, and in particular the threat of ransomware.<\/p><p>\u201cWhile government is uniquely able to disrupt and deter our adversaries, it is network defenders in industry, and the steps that all organisations and citizens are taking that are protecting the UK from attacks, day in, day out.<\/p><p>\u201cThe protection they provide is crucial to the digital transformation of the economy, and every organisation, large and small, has a role to play.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
