National Cyber Strategy for 2022

National Cyber Strategy 2022

We all know we are living in an increasingly connected world, and with this comes fast evolution of the threats we all face at a personal, business and national level from cyber-crime as highlighted in the UK Governments National Cyber Strategy 2022. It’s encouraging to see a Government focused on ensuring we can continue to work and live in a safe way, and who have a key focus on cyber resilience. The Strategy focuses on 5 pillars with core themes of strength, resilience and leadership, whilst ensuring that we are all better protected across all aspects of private, professional and public life.

The Government recognises that they alone cannot achieve the goals set out in the Strategy. There is a focus on the shared responsibilities across the UK citing that “Businesses and organisations have a responsibility to ensure they are effectively managing their cyber risks, to become cyber resilient and to support their customers and the people who use their services”. It is great to hear that Cyber Security Clusters are being supported going forwards, as outlined below.

The Strategy will “deliver more integrated and effective regional cyber networks across the UK, enabling stronger partnerships between government, businesses and academia to support sectoral growth and business resilience. We will work with regional cyber clusters and the recently established UK Cyber Cluster Collaboration (UKC3), the growing number of regional cyber innovation centres and Cyber Resilience Centres, strengthening links between local businesses, academic centres of excellence and law enforcement”.

This strategy showcases an exciting time for the UK Cyber sector with a strong focus on technologies that will further the UK’s cyber capabilities and ability to better manage and process data, information and secure business operations. Coupled with a focus on skills and advancing cyber businesses, the Strategy will go a long way in futureproofing the whole of the UK for an ever more connected society.
