With the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CSRB) now reaching parliament, the UK’s approach can align with the increasing scale and complexity of today’s threats.

As one of the UK’s critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors, energy underpins everything. From powering homes and hospitals to supporting financial systems and transport networks, its reliability cannot be taken for granted.

Quantum computing, once a theoretical concept, is accelerating. Its potential to break today’s cryptographic standards is no longer in question - only its timeline is.

The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a clear warning: artificial intelligence is already transforming the cyber threat landscape - and the impact is being felt today, not just in the years ahead. 

Across every sector - corporate campuses, transport hubs, healthcare facilities, or large public events - facilities and safety leaders face the same challenge: how do you create safe, resilient environments in the face of scale, unpredictability, and evolving risks? 

Cyber threats are evolving and phishing is leading the charge. Once easy to spot, today’s phishing attacks are sophisticated, convincing, and increasingly personal.

The Government has introduced a new Cyber Incident Exercising (CIE) Policy. This policy mandates that all Lead Government Departments, Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs), and other public organisations conduct at least one cyber incident response exercise per year. 

In the wake of high-profile breaches across the retail sector - from luxury fashion houses to household-name high street brands, it’s clear that retailers are no longer peripheral targets in the cyber threat landscape. They’re prime targets.

The journey of the British gas industry reflects significant technological and infrastructural advancements.

In an evolving security landscape, the UK government has introduced the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill which received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025. This legislation is aimed at enhancing the safety of public spaces.

A global leader in parcel delivery and logistics faced significant threats when fires broke out at their Birmingham, UK, and Leipzig, Germany facilities in mid-2024. These incidents, suspected to involve incendiary devices planted in parcels, reveal the challenges of securing critical supply chains amidst growing geopolitical tensions.

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and a recent breach of a leading U.S. telecommunications provider underscores the grave risks posed by advanced persistent threat (APT) groups.

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, organisations must stay one step ahead to protect their people, infrastructure, and operations. That’s why Avella offers a unique and specialised service: the Hostile Breach Vulnerability Assessment (HBVA).

The UK Government’s 'Secure by Design' initiative marks a significant shift in how cyber security is approached within public and private sectors alike. Announced as part of the broader National Cyber Security Strategy, this policy seeks to embed security principles into the very fabric of technology development, promoting resilience from the outset rather than relying on reactive measures.

In an increasingly interconnected and volatile world, energy security has emerged as a critical priority for nations and businesses alike. Ensuring a stable, reliable, and resilient energy supply is essential for economic stability, national security, and the well-being of societies.

In today’s hyper-connected world, where the need to deliver personalised engagement and intuitive customer service has become the minimum industry standard, contact centres have become a hub of personal customer data. 

This Cyber Security Awareness Month, it’s worth highlighting the importance of cyber security in emerging technology areas, as well as the traditional ones. AI has revolutionised various aspects of business operations, from automating mundane tasks to providing deep insights through data analysis.
