The head of the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Centre warns that hostile nations like Russia, Iran and China are behind the most serious cyberattacks in the U.K. In a speech Wednesday, Richard Horne will emphasize that British businesses need to prepare for large-scale cyberattacks, especially if the U.K. becomes involved in international conflicts. Recently, countries like Sweden and Poland have reported Russian-linked attacks on critical infrastructure. Horne will highlight that while ransomware is common, state-sponsored cyberattacks pose the greatest threat. He urges companies to understand these risks and improve defenses before it's too late.
