UK government must get its hands dirty on security, report says

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”...According to MacColl and Jarnecki, it is only by making a decisive shift towards an interventionist strategy that treats resilience as a core component of economic security, and not a discretionary technical issue, that the UK as a collective can stand up to these threats.
