Professor Ciaran Martin said 'the worst' of the outage was over but that collaborative work is needed
Experts have described the chaos of the worldwide IT outage as a 'big wake-up call' and warned that it is 'likely' to happen again unless governments and tech firms work together. Professor Ciaran Martin, the former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre , said 'the worst' of the outage was over, but countries would 'have to learn to cope' with future flaws.
Prof Martin added: “Until governments and the industry get together and work out how to design out some of these flaws, I’m afraid we are likely to see more of these again. Within countries like the UK and elsewhere in Europe, you can try and build up that national resilience to cope with this. But ultimately, a lot of this is going to be determined in the US.
“If there’s going to be regulation to try and iron out these flaws, it’ll probably have to come from the US and there’s not a great deal that we can do about that. So unless and until the structure of the way we do tech changes, we’re going to have to learn to cope with these things, rather than eliminate them.”
“This impacts everyone and we need to understand how those effects ripple through society and think about how we all make ourselves more resilient.” He added: “The resilience in general of these systems is something very special. We depend on these systems and by and large they are working to very high levels of quality.
