A new report from the National Audit Office reveals that the UK government is significantly behind in its pledge to enhance cybersecurity by 2025, with a likelihood of not reaching these goals even by 2030. Originally outlined in the Government Cyber Strategy 2022, the targets aimed to bolster the resilience of critical government functions against cyber threats. However, the current security status shows considerable deficiencies across various governmental departments, as assessed by the GovAssure scheme, indicating that the cybersecurity landscape is deteriorating amid advancing threats.
The NAO's report indicates that the UK government may not achieve its cybersecurity targets, initially set for 2025, until 2030, revealing significant gaps.
Despite severe cybersecurity threats, the UK government struggles to meet its 2022 targets to secure critical IT systems, with gaps across ministerial departments.
