This week’s guilty verdict against Sellafield UK Ltd for failing basic security protocols is alarming. This verdict followed a damning article by the Guardian in December 2023 when they reported a cyberattack on the nuclear facility.
Public records reveal that in August 2022, BT Group, a partner of the NCSC’s Share & Defend program, secured a £32 million contract to provide cyber security services to Sellafield.
Despite this, the so far unnamed third party was found guilty of numerous security lapses at Sellafield UK Ltd this week.
The involvement of BT Group, coupled with exposed Internet assets and servers by Sellafield UK Ltd and BT Group, raises questions about the true extent of the cybersecurity oversight. Our research shows both parties are exposed and insecure to digital intrusion and further incidents.
It only takes a single error, a single exposed, Not Secure domain, or Insecure server to enable an opportunity and unlawful access via an insecure Asset. Is this a case of gross negligence, or is there even more beneath the surface?
