GCHQ 'genuinely surprised' at scale and scope of cyberattacks against UK

The man in charge of cybersecurity at Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) says that it does not have the resources to "put a large cybersecurity umbrella" over the UK.
Ciaran Martin, who is one of four director generals at GCHQ and the only one in the public domain, addressed the opening day of the InfoSec conference in London and said that despite claims the organisation is carrying out widespread surveillance it would be impossible for his or any other organisation to stop all cyberattacks.
