Cyber Security threats once solely consisted of direct attacks but with both advancement and heightened primary defences hostiles now seek to attack businesses through third party vulnerabilities in their supply chain. This can be through both digital and analogue suppliers, being as subtle as a key stroke recorder or a complete network takedown. These hostiles / ATP’s (Advanced Persistent Threats) can include independent hostiles, groups, terrorists, nation states and even competitors that conduct attacks as part of a wider campaign supplementing and supporting other digital and physical attacks which are particularly critical in Aerospace & Defence.  

Most recently with a constantly changing landscape the challenge has been to conduct detailed cyber vulnerability assessments based on information/ staff behaviour in conjunction with the latest policies & best practises which are critical to identify, assess and prioritise threats, superficial compliance assessments will not do any organisation any good.
