What happened
The NCSC feed highlights multiple high-priority defensive advisories and guidance: an active alert urging organisations to act after global targeting of Fortinet firewalls and VPN gateways; detailed guidance on defending against China‑nexus covert networks (recommendations include mapping and baselining edge device traffic, monitoring VPN/remote access, and dynamic threat‑feed filtering); and broader strategic guidance on AI adoption (including cautions about agentic AI and using AI for vulnerability discovery). Other practical guidance covers software supply‑chain hygiene (check dependencies,
