The MOD’s 2nd Permanent Secretary, Chief Information Officer, and Head of Commercial have issued a critical reminder urging the Defence supply chain to evaluate their cyber resilience against the NCSC’s Cyber Assessment Framework. If you haven’t reviewed this yet, you can access the guidance here. 

The supply chain remains one of the most significant vulnerabilities for organisations and national security, particularly against state-sponsored actors capable of sophisticated, long-term attacks. For example, the SolarWinds breach demonstrated the scale of such threats, with over 300,000 systems compromised and 18,000 actively exploited. 

At Nexor, we understand these challenges deeply. While we provide all the standard cybersecurity measures to safeguard your data, we don’t stop there. We operate on the assumption that your systems may already be compromised. Our advanced solutions are designed to: 

• Prevent malicious code and sensitive data from moving within or out of your systems. 

• Safeguard secure systems from vulnerabilities introduced by low-cost, insecure electronics. 

• Use open-source intelligence techniques to uncover threats, including identifying data leaks from unknown third-party suppliers deep within your supply chain. 

For over 30 years, Nexor has been a trusted partner in enabling and protecting cross-domain data exchange for customers such as NATO. We know that every organisation is unique, so we begin by thoroughly understanding your risks, requirements, and priorities to create tailored, resilient solutions. 

Let us help you secure your operations and navigate today’s complex cyber threat landscape.
