The Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy last week released its report, Cyber Security of the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure. The wide-ranging report details the significant & growing challenges facing UK CNI from various actors, outlines the current Government response to date and describes the evolving regulatory landscape. The report states that the cyber threat to the UK’s CNI is as credible, potentially devastating and immediate as any other threat faced by the UK. The report acknowledges the significant progress to date, particularly through the work of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the effectiveness of the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive in strengthening the resilience of CNI. It does, however, question whether this progress is quick enough or whether the NCSC has the resources to meet increasing demands. It outlines several recommendations the Joint Committee believes will ensure UK preparedness including appointing one Cabinet Office minister with designated responsibility for cyber security across Government departments. |
