Mark Skilton said: "This attack has shown there needs to be a 'cyber police force' at a global level to help manage these escalating threats with the right level of specialist skills, and not just vendors sorting it out for themselves.
"With Microsoft, as well as many other vendors and cyber response agencies, citing a 75% increase in user expectation to be cyber-attacked in the next 12 months, this attack has just gone to the 'next level'.
