Industrialising Cyber Defence in an Asymmetric World
summary
Argues for industrialising defence by scaling the National Cyber Security Centre’s active cyber defence program, demanding vendor telemetry/log access, and using market leverage (buying coalitions, regulation or carrots like tax credits) to force minimum baselines. Calls for evidence-based validation of controls, research on securing legacy systems, web stacks (SQLi, cookie leakage), and supply-chain trust, and for near‑real‑time machine-speed solutions to repel fast adversaries — flags OT, SMEs, and novel tech (brain‑cell on FPGA, quantum sensing) as urgent priorities.
