Yesterday, we began our deep dive into the NCSC Annual Review 2024. Today, we're turning our attention to Chapter 1, which delves into the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape—a subject that aligns closely with our expertise at tmc³.
The Rising Tide of Cyber Threats
Chapter 1 offers a comprehensive look at how cyber threats have developed over the past year. From sophisticated ransomware attacks targeting critical infrastructure to advanced persistent threats infiltrating networks, the report makes it clear that no organisation is immune.
Key Takeaways You Should Consider
- Increased Sophistication of Attacks
Cybercriminals are employing more complex tactics, making threats harder to detect and mitigate. It's not just about malware anymore; it's about multi-layered campaigns that exploit both technical vulnerabilities and human factors. - Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Attacks are increasingly targeting third-party vendors to gain access to larger networks. The trust placed in suppliers can become a weak point if not properly managed. - Human Element Remains Crucial
Despite technological advances, human error continues to be a significant factor in security breaches. Phishing attacks and social engineering are as prevalent as ever.
How tmc³ Can Help
At tmc³, our expertise in Threat and Vulnerability Services is designed to address these challenges head-on.

Our team constantly monitors the threat landscape, providing you with real-time insights and tailored strategies to mitigate risks before they impact your operations.
- Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessments: We identify weaknesses in your systems before the bad guys do. Our team conducts thorough assessments to uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your network infrastructure.
- Physical Penetration Testing: Cybersecurity isn't solely a digital concern. Our specialists simulate real-world attacks on your physical premises to identify and mitigate risks that could compromise your security from within.
Additionally our Third-Party Assurance Services can help you by:
- Evaluation and Monitoring: tmc3 facilitates our clients in evaluating, monitoring, and managing compliance within their supply chain.

Beyond this, our partners such as #OneTrust and #RiskLedger, offer fantastic products for comprehensive third-party due diligence, enhancing the security and compliance of your supply chain even further.
Connecting the Dots
The themes in Chapter 1 align closely with our mission to help organisations stay ahead of threats. Here's how:
- Proactive Defence: The NCSC emphasises the importance of being proactive rather than reactive. Our Managed Threat Services are designed to anticipate and neutralise risks before they become incidents.
- Holistic Security Approach: By combining digital threat management with physical security assessments, we offer a comprehensive strategy that covers all aspects of organisational security.
- Empowering Your Team: We believe that informed employees are your first line of defence. Our training programmes aim to reduce human error and increase overall security awareness.
Looking Ahead
The cyber landscape is continuously evolving, and staying informed is your best defence. We'll continue unpacking each chapter of the NCSC Annual Review over the coming days, providing insights and actionable advice.
