   “The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), sometimes written as NCSC-UK, is an organisation of the United Kingdom Government that provides advice and support for the public and private sector in how to avoid threats in information security. It is the UK's National technical authority for cyber threats and Information Assurance. Based in Victoria, London, it became operational in October 2016, and its parent organisation is GCHQ.”

   “It first provides a descriptive overview of the key U.K. regulatory authorities and the evolution of their efforts over the past decade, as well as the scope for broader collaborations with industry and member-based associations and international organisations. It then evaluates the effectiveness of these efforts by providing a multi-method study of the incidence, nature and evolution of cost of data breaches, investment in computer systems and software intangible assets at risk of cyberattack, and a content analysis of annual reports of both U.K. regulators and a sample of U.K. insurers. The findings suggest that while both the total costs of data breaches and the size of investment in computer systems and software intangibles at risk of cyberattack have gradually increased over time, the degree of engagement with cyber as a reporting issue by both cyber insurers and financial regulators has not. It is concluded that while these efforts have been apparently successful in avoiding a large-scale, systemic cyberattack on the U.K. insurance industry, there are significant gaps and overlaps in the system of cyber regulatory oversight.”

   'It's been relentless' say IT workers on frontline of PHP cyber-security scramble

   BBC NewsPublished Oct 23, 2026Checked Oct 24, 2026

   “How did AI discover the internet's massive cyber-security risk? Microsoft boss Satya Nadella says he has not seen anything like the PHP emergency "in a long, long time". Referencing the ongoing global efforts to fix the critical cyber-security flaw in millions of websites, he told a conference "it was a long day and a long night, I know, for all the IT and security folks". Other IT and cyber experts have told the BBC about their struggles in the last 48 hours, whose stories give us an insight into what it is like at the coalface of a major cyber emergency. But also highlight how misinformation and panic has made things a lot worse. "It's been relentless," says UK-based system administrator Adam Mudd. He said he had never had so many messages from people who were worried about their websites. "The biggest challenge has been juggling clients who want their sites taken offline as a precaution, while trying to coordinate updates and fixes across countless different setups," he said. "Sometimes it takes me longer to take a website down than to fix the PHP problem." PHP is a very popular programming language which powers millions of websites. But two critical flaws were found with the system that led to the emergency response, with national cyber-security authorities urging IT teams to download a security fix urgently or take websites and servers offline.”

   Cyber resilience conceptual model for European Union NIS2 standards implementation in Slovakia.

   Scientific reports (Ristvej et al.)Published Jul 24, 2025Checked Oct 24, 2026

   “The use of modern information and communication technologies in the business environment, as well as in everyday life has become common. However, with the dynamic development of these technologies, the risk of their abuse is also increasing. In this context, cyber resilience is coming into focus. This paper discusses the development of a Cyber Resilience Model based on the implementation of the normative acts of cyber security and the NIS2 directive in the context of crisis management. The model has the ambition to increase the level of cyber resilience. Its creation has been tailored for application in the structures of the Slovak Republic. The paper also deals with the definition of cyber resilience, as the term has not received sufficient attention and there are many different definitions. The findings of this paper have the potential to be applied in other countries of the European Union too, as the principles of cyber security and the obligation to implement legislation apply to all EU countries.”
