British Library Cybersecurity Report

Thanks to British Library for sharing its reflections on the catastrophic cybersecurity attack. Some of the things that struck me in the document.

– “Our cloud-based systems, including finance and payroll, have functioned normally”

– “Exhibitions and on-site cultural events have exceeded their targets during the period.”

– “Needed: a complete renewal of our technological infrastructure”

– “The nature of the library legacy infrastructure contributed to the severity of the impact of the attack.”

– “Significant culture change needed to fully embed cyber security at the heart of technology”
