Dr. Richard Horne, National Cyber Security Centre CEO, speaks about the threat posed to British homes and businesses by cyber attacks.
The “significant threat” posed by Chinese and Russian hackers has contributed to a record number of serious online attacks, he will warn.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which is part of the GCHQ intelligence agency, recorded a 50% increase in “highly significant” incidents in the year to the end of August.
The attacks on household names including Marks and Spencer, Co-op and Jaguar Land Rover have shown the real world impact of cyberattacks, the NCSC said.
