The NCSC's CTO, Ollie Whitehouse, emphasized the need for a more functional security market at CYBERUK. He criticized the current landscape for not rewarding vendors who prioritize security, leaving customers to bear the risks of cyber threats. Whitehouse argued for an ecosystem that incentivizes companies making secure products, stressing that those who invest in security will emerge more prosperous and successful. The NCSC's stance highlights the need for accountability and better security practices to avoid repeating past vulnerabilities.
"The market does not currently support and reward those companies that make that investment and build secure products. The risks introduced here are then shouldered by customers."
"We have to find ways where we can incentivize those vendors to be rewarded for their hard work, for those that go the extra mile, for those that build the secure technologies which our foundations are going to rely on in the future."
