It is approved for use in even the most high-threat cybersecurity environments.<\/p>\n<p>The device has already been successfully deployed on government estates, and now SilentGlass has been released for anyone to buy and use.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The NCSC has partnered with Goldilock Labs and Sony UK to manufacture and sell SilentGlass globally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Monitors a Target For Cyber-Attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The NCSC has warned that monitors can be a attractive target for malicious threat actors because of how they are used to hold and process valuable, sensitive or personal data.<\/p>\n<p>According to the agency, that means that cyber threat actors are likely to abuse access to monitors to infiltrate networks for malicious activities such as disruption or financial gain, taking advantage of a lack of mitigations in this area.<\/p>\n<p>SilentGlass can been developed to help to shut down this attack vector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisplay screens and monitors are everywhere in modern business environments, and the SilentGlass device will help protect previously vulnerable IT infrastructure with unprecedented ease,\u201d said Ollie Whitehouse, CTO at NCSC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts development and commercialization shows the impact that the NCSC can have, alongside industry partners, with an affordable and effective product now globally available. By helping to launch a UK company onto the global market with this world-class innovation, we are breaking new ground and helping to strengthen national prosperity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Goldilock Labs, a UK-based small business described as experts in cyber security innovation, was awarded the contract license&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infosecurity-magazine.com\/news\/ncsc-silentglass-a-plugin-stop\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCSC Unveils SilentGlass Device to Protect Monitors from Cyber-Attacks https:\/\/www.infosecurity-magazine.com\/news\/ncsc-silentglass-a-plugin-stop\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-22 11:00:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234481,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets.infosecurity-magazine.com\/webpage\/og\/b93c9d06-a7a3-40d4-b7d6-bb6bf7b34d8e.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-234480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234480"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234480"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":234482,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234480\/revisions\/234482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
