In its latest Annual Review, the NCSC delivered a stark warning:
“The severity of the risk facing the UK is being widely underestimated… The gap between the threat and the cyber resilience of the UK needs to close as a matter of urgency.”
It’s a message that couldn’t be clearer—or more urgent.
With critical national infrastructure (CNI), public services, and their supply chains increasingly targeted by sophisticated adversaries, the pressure on cybersecurity teams has never been higher. A perfect storm is forming: legacy IT systems, skills shortages, strained public finances, and rapid digitalisation—accelerated by the rise of AI—are expanding the attack surface and exposing vulnerabilities across the board.
Meanwhile, in a world marked by escalating geopolitical tensions, the demand for total control over sensitive data is at an all-time high. Organisations are now recognising the need for fully air-gapped XDR solutions, ones that ensure complete data sovereignty across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments. When it comes to defending highly sensitive sectors, compromise is not an option.
At CYBERUK 2025, taking place 6–8 May in Manchester, the UK’s leading minds in cybersecurity will come together under the theme of Transforming Resilience and Countering Threats. And Trend Micro will be there,- ready to help security leaders go on the offensive.
Because in today’s climate, being reactive is no longer good enough. Proactive cybersecurity—built on continuous risk assessment, real-time threat detection, and rapid response—is the only way forward. If we can shift our collective mindset, we can turn the tide, close the gap, and seize the initiative from our adversaries.
