New cyber monitoring centre will rate severity of digital threats as they unfold The UK is to launch of a new Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC) that will rate the severity of digital threats as they unfold, marking a major move to help businesses address and learn from such incidents swiftly.
The CMC has the potential to help businesses and individuals better understand the implications of cyber events, mitigate their impact on people's lives, and improve cyber resilience and response plans.
Starting this Thursday, the CMC will begin its mission by categorising significant cyber events, especially those potentially leaving firms with financial losses over £100m impacting multiple entities, or furnishing enough information for a detailed analysis.
This could be a huge leap forward," and confidently added, "I have no doubt the CMC will improve the way we tackle, learn from, and recover from cyber incidents.
Will Mayes, the boss at CMC, commented: "The risk of major cyber events is greater now than at any time in the past as UK organisations have become increasingly reliant on technology.
