Building national cyber resilience will be critical to the delivery of the UK Government's new Industrial Strategy. Not only is strong cyber security a prerequisite for growth in the UK’s key sectors such as green industries, but the cyber industry is a significant growth sector in its own right. As Melanie G. from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change argued in NCC Group’s recent report – Digital Dawn - “cyber resilience must sit within the UK’s larger industrial strategy, ensuring that those industries which have been identified as highly strategic are protected and that there remains a home-grown pool of UK cyber capability that can be accessed by government and critical infrastructure alike.” A big thank you to Melanie G. for sharing invaluable insights in our report, ‘Digital Dawn: Cyber Security Policy in the Wake of Political Change.’ Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eUb_7DW9 #cybersecurity #cyberpolicy #cyberregulations #publicpolicy #cyberpriorities
