In an ever increasing interconnected world, with complex IT systems being at the heart of most infrastructure, ensuring operational resilience requires more than your traditional infrastructure maintenance programme. The recent CrowdStrike outage highlights the size of potential disruption when things go wrong. Third-party assurance reports can be key in preparing for and responding to such disruptions, but they must go beyond mere compliance to truly build stakeholder trust. Explore how PwC UK Third-Party assurance reports can help you prepare and respond: https://bit.ly/3LDNgfW   #RiskManagement #Assurance #CrowdStrike #infrastructure #capitalprojects

The UK Gov are to propose mandatory ransomware attack reporting and would have to authorise payments. I’m not sure how I feel about this. More visibility into the range and impact of attacks will help understand the true scale and provide valuable lessons learned. However surely it should be up to each organisation to decide how they will respond. One to watch

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recently issued guidance to help firms in the event they are threatened with making a ransom payment 💲 ❗ Key points include... ✔ Alternative Solutions: Companies should consider viable backups and unexpected methods to recover systems and data instead of paying ransoms. ✔ Consulting Experts: Decision-making should involve consulting insurers, law enforcement, and cyber incident response specialists. ✔ Be aware that payment does not guarantee access to data: There is a chance that decryption keys will not work and, even if they do, it will take time to run across large networks. ✔ Consider the correct legal and regulatory practice around payment: There are a range of legal risks involved in paying a ransom which need to be considered and mitigated to the extent possible. ✔ Payment of a ransom does not fulfil regulatory obligations: The ICO has made clear that payment of a ransom, including for deletion of data, does not affect the level of risk to data subjects and the resulting notification obligations. ✔ Report to the UK authorities: The NCSC will usually expect to be informed about ransomware incidents, particularly where payment of the ransom is being considered.
