Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has published its annual report for 2025. According to the centre, the year was characterised by the build-up of the new organisation, the establishment of new forms of collaboration, and work to strengthen Sweden’s overall cyber capability.In a press release on the NCSC’s website, the agency describes 2025 as the year in which the foundation was laid for the next phase of Sweden’s cybersecurity work. The annual report summarises the operational year, the development of cyber threats, and the efforts carried out together with government agencies, the private sector, and other actors to strengthen Sweden’s digital resilience.”When we sum up 2025, we see a year of build-up and development. We have taken important steps towards becoming the national focal point for cybersecurity that Sweden needs. At the same time, we are only at the beginning of the journey. Our work is about continuing, together, to create concrete value for the organisations that every day contribute to Sweden’s security and resilience,” says John Billow, Director of the National Cyber Security Centre, in a press release.According to the annual report, the NCSC received a strengthened mandate during 2025 after the National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA, Försvarets radioanstalt) became the principal authority for the organisation. During the year, the organisation was built up through recruitment and the establishment of a new management structure, while the centre developed its role as a national platform for collaboration within cybersecurity.The annual report also describes how Swedish government agencies, companies, and critical infrastructure were subjected during the year to both denial-of-service attacks and ransomware attacks. Among the highlighted cases, attacks are mentioned against, among others, Sportadmin, Miljödata, Svenska kraftnät (the Swedish national grid operator), and SVT (Swedish public broadcaster).The annual report is available in full on the NCSC’s website (in Swedish).
