And like buses….. another Citrix alert on the back of the High Severity Alert issued yesterday! NHS England's Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) has just issued a High Severity Alert (HSA) CC-4674 to the health and care system in England in relation to Active Exploitation of Zero-Day Vulnerability CVE-2025-6543 in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Further Details Full details are included in the alert CC-4674 but in summary this alert provides an updated patch that covers this vulnerability, and the vulnerability covered by the HSA issued yesterday. As vulnerability CVE-2025-6543 is under active exploitation and these Citrix devices are typically Internet-facing this new patch should be applied immediately. Application of this patch and the subsequent use of the manual commands outlined in CC-4674 addresses both CVE-2025-6543 AND CVE-2025-5777. As usual, health and care organisations should acknowledge the High Severity Alert as soon as possible and those with impacted systems that have not yet applied the patch should do the needful as soon as practically possible. https://lnkd.in/gwWgyx7j #NHS #Cyber #DefendAsOne #Citrix #Netscaler #NetscalerGateway

Later today I am delighted to be joining a roundtable hosted by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology hosted by the National Technology Adviser, Dave Smith, alongside techUK and other business leaders to discuss how we unlock growth in the tech sector.   I am incredibly proud to be a part of the UK cyber industry, which is not only a significant growth sector worth around £18.4bn, but also an essential enabler of sustainable and resilient growth across the economy.   We have a huge opportunity through the forthcoming Digital and Technologies Sector Plan to back this critical sector - tackling the 73,500-person skills shortage, reforming R&D incentive structures and updating our cyber laws.   Doing so would deliver growth and ensure the UK has the talent and capabilities it needs to maintain resilience in the face of emerging cyber threats.   The sophistication and volume of cyber attacks is ever evolving, with NCC Group identifying 5263 ransomware attacks alone in 2024 - the highest on record.
