The Jaguar Land Rover hack continues, and its effects may be financially significant for the firm if the BBC’s report is correct. With the company losing £75million a day, one wonders if cyber compliance would have been more effective than non-compliance. Also, given the impact on the JLR supply chain.

While there’s little in the media that identifies the challenges JLR is facing, it is clear that stopping production indicates either a strategy of playing it safe or one of a cyber attack that is broad and deep. Given it is not uncommon for a threat actor to go unnoticed within an organisation for a significant period of time, one hopes it is the former and not the latter.

One wonders when the UK government is going to focus on cybersecurity. This week’s announcement of a UK Defence Industry strategy came at the same time as the US DoD formalised CMMC cybersecurity requirements. Requirements focused on securing the Defence Industry Base, which includes UK defence companies. A requirement that the UK government did not include in its defense industry strategy. A further example of cybersecurity regulation affecting UK industry, which one hopes will be covered in forthcoming UK cyber regulation.
