A picture of Jonathon Ellison, NCSC Director for National Resilience, alongside a quote which says: Recent disruptive activity against operational technology makes clear that the threat to UK networks is far from theoretical. It is part of a broader trend in targeting we are seeing across sectors. Our advice is clear: OT devices do not need to be directly exposed to the internet and so we urge organisations to ensure they are not - to limit opportunities for malicious activity. Against the backdrop of growing capability and geopolitical tensions, the urgency with which organisations need to act has never been more acute.

A quote from NCSC CTO Ollie Whitehouse which reads: Appropriate human oversight is paramount when granting any level of autonomy to agentic AI systems so that cyber risk can be effectively managed.
