To get clarity, each sector will deal with its own security but that is really about compliance to ensure they have the correct firewalls and security measures in place to keep everything safe. The National Cyber Security Centre is an overarching body that is keeping an eye on everything and Dr. Browne mentioned that more people or entities are coming after the centre has detected the problem, rather than them coming to report the problem. That suggests there is proactive work going on. Does that mean the NCSC will have more of a role in trying to foresee the potential of an attack or perhaps will be able to point to the beginning of a problem where it may be opening up? I imagine in all of this, artificial intelligence and technology is moving to our benefit as well as to our disadvantage. It has the two sides of that coin. How much of that is done from a perspective of using AI and systems in place to detect the kind of operations some of these players engage in?
