Cyber Security
In a report published by the Whitehall-based defence and security think tank, titled Rebooting the UK’s Cyber Strategy, research fellows Jamie MacColl and Joseph Jarnecki agree with the government view – outlined last month – that the nation’s current approach to cyber has not kept up with the scale and impact of current threats in spite of “strong institutional foundations and internationally respected policy frameworks”...“Weak cyber security undermines UK growth and national security. A new approach to UK cyber strategy is needed,” said MacColl. “Future economic growth without cyber resilience is built on shaky ground.”
