The UK government has initiated a new review of cyber security to enhance trust and confidence among business leaders in response to the rising complexity of cyber threats. Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden highlighted the substantial growth of the UK’s cyber security industry, generating over £10bn in revenue and £5bn in exports. The government appointed Stephen McPartland MP to lead an independent review, aiming to reshape the narrative and market incentives surrounding cyber security. The review, involving government officials, IT and security experts, and independent researchers, will focus on exploring economic opportunities in cyber security, promoting trust in technology, and supporting good cyber security practices. This aligns with the UK’s vision of becoming a technology superpower and complements the National Cyber Strategy 2022. The UK and French governments also collaborated to address the proliferation of commercial spyware and “hackers-for-hire” through the Pall Mall Declaration event, aiming to regulate the use of such technology internationally.
