The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is encouraging all UK organisations to review and bolster their cyber security in response to the cyber incidents in and around Ukraine.  

This comes after the NCSC updated its guidance to UK companies and organisations last week on ‘Actions to take when the cyber threat is heightened’.

To reduce any risk, it is recommended that UK organisations of any size follow the following guidance:

• patch systems; 
• improve access controls and enable multi-factor authentication; 
• implement an effective incident response plan; 
• ensure backups and restore mechanisms are working; 
• ensure that online defences are working as expected, and; 
• keep up to date with the latest threat and mitigation information. 

Currently, the NCSC is investigating recent reports of malicious cyber incidents in Ukraine. So far, they are unaware of any current specific threats to UK organisations in relation to events in and around Ukraine.
