Grading the telecom sector — the NCSC’s perspective
As a key part of critical infrastructure, cybersecurity in the telecom sector is a key component of national security. A senior representative of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre will share the NCSC’s view of the telecom sector’s cybersecurity maturity as of today, and pointers for areas of improvement.
The NCSC has committed a specific ‘C’ level speaker to give this talk at HardenStance’s TTIS 2026. Consistent with protocol, the NCSC nevertheless requires that the individual’s name is withheld until shortly before the event
