The UK is at a pivotal point in its cyber security journey. Half way through the implementation of its ground breaking second national cyber security strategy and £1.9 billion investment programme, it needs to start defining its approach to cyber security after 2021, when the current programme comes to a close.

 

There are some key lessons to be learned from UK progress so far, including around the place of active cyber defence measures, the role of the private sector in delivering cyber security at national level, the pros and cons of tougher cyber regulation, the complexities involved in significantly boosting national cyber capacity, and the best way of organising government to deliver effective cyber security. Alongside these issues is the question of cyber at an international level, in an age of globalised technology, complex supply chains and hostile nation states apparently undeterred in their willingness to use cyber to further their ends.

 

An assessment of the UK’s lessons, and the potential shape of its future approach on cyber, provides an opportunity to explore issues and opportunities relevant to all nations.
