The UK's Cyber Security and Resilience (CSR) Bill is poised to strengthen the nation’s cybersecurity framework, yet experts caution that without inclusive engagement from industry stakeholders, its effectiveness may be jeopardized. A report by the Cyber Innovation All-Party Parliamentary Group highlights a strong desire for enhanced cyber laws but emphasizes the necessity for broader collaboration. While many cyber professionals see potential economic benefits, nearly half remain unsure. Key leaders push for a proactive dialogue between government and industry to ensure the legislation is comprehensive and forward-looking, tailoring it to meet evolving threats.
This bill is a historic opportunity to strengthen the UK's cyber resilience, but we risk falling short if we don't listen to those on the frontline.
We're calling on DSIT to open up the conversation, coordinate across government, to provide a timeline and process for tackling the urgent issues that are deemed out of scope.
This underscores the need for politicians to be more ambitious and inclusive, to maximize the benefits of the CSR Bill.
