Paul Cashmore, from the incident response team Solace Cyber, who worked with Knights of Old, recommends businesses implement “MFA – Multifactor authentication enforced for all remote access and cloud apps” and maintain “off-site, air-gapped, immutable backups with separate standalone non-domain authentication”. The National Cyber Security Centre advises organizations to prioritize remediating known exploited vulnerabilities and enable multi-factor authentication for all services, while reinforcing that they routinely engage with a whole range of organisations about the cyber-threats that the UK faces. A devastating ransomware attack has forced Knights of Old, a 160-year-old haulage firm based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, into administration, resulting in 730 job losses and prompting a stark warning from its director to other businesses. “We felt we were in a very good place in terms of our security, our protocols, the measures we’d gone to protect the business,” Abbott stated.
