Armis releases State of Cyberwarfare and Trends Report
rmis , a leading asset visibility and security company ,
A has announced preliminary findings from the Armis
State of Cyberwarfare and Trends Report : 2022 – 2023 , which measures global IT and security professionals ’ perceptions of cyberwarfare . It found that while 84 % of UK organisations claimed they had programmes and practices in place to respond to cyberwarfare threat , only one-third ( 32 %) said their plans are validated by best practice frameworks , which is less than the global average of nearly 40 %. In addition , 57 % of UK organisations have stopped or stalled Digital Transformation projects due to threat of cyberwarfare – slightly higher than the global average of 55 %.
The study showed that cyberwarfare was one of the lowestranking priorities for UK organisations – despite a majority of organisations ( 59 %) agreeing that the threat of cyberwarfare has increased since the start of the Ukrainian conflict , and 62 % claiming to be somewhat or very concerned about the threat of cyberwarfare on their organisations .
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has not only tragically upended the lives of countless people in a sovereign nation , but it is also causing geopolitical shockwaves of cyberwarfare that will reverberate for the foreseeable future . Today ’ s targets extend well beyond the higher levels of the opposition governments ; any organisation is a potential victim , with critical infrastructure and high-value entities at the top of the list . The study shares responses from more than 6,000 respondents globally and across multiple industries , including healthcare , critical infrastructure , retail , supply chain and logistics and more .
BAE Systems partners with Home Office to help identify national security risks at the UK border
AE Systems Digital Intelligence is partnering with the Home
B
Office to develop data analysis technology that will help protect the UK ’ s border and simplify processes for traders and travellers .
The three-year contract , worth £ 38 million , will enable Border Force and related agencies to manage , in real-time , the vast amounts of data relating to the 300 million passenger journeys and 385 million tonnes of freight that enter the UK every year . The amount of information held across the Home Office , wider government and industry is increasing rapidly and understanding these large datasets quickly is critical for identifying risks to national security .
Through the development of advanced risk analytics services with the Home Office , also known as ‘ Cerberus ’, BAE Systems Digital Intelligence will enable
Border Force and related agencies to streamline and augment the process of real-time threat detection and intervention . The capabilities will also enable the government to securely connect and analyse data over a longer period to gain a better understanding of the bigger picture and macro trends , helping to inform longer-term strategy . This will bolster the government ’ s vision of creating efficient and secure experiences for visitors and traders crossing the border .
Dominic Gallard , Director of Home Office Intelligence , said : “ Technology sits at the heart of operations at the UK border . Our partnership with BAE Systems enables a more data-driven approach and provides our teams with high-quality information to support operational decisions . This helps us keep the UK safe by identifying highthreat movements of goods and people and interdicting them .”
