Cyber Security And Resilience Bill: Strengthening The UK's Defences

The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill aims to expand scope, strengthen oversight, and align UK rules internationally

The increasingly digital economy has reshaped how organisations operate, interact, and deliver value. With this evolution has come a growing number of cyber risks, from sophisticated ransomware attacks to state-aligned threat actors seeking to destabilise critical infrastructure.

The last three years have seen attacks on the UK digital economy, both by cyber criminals and state actors, where UK hospitals, universities, local authorities, democratic institutions and government departments have been targeted. Recent cyberattacks on the NHS and the Ministry of Defence show how severe these incidents can be.
