The UK government has proposed a Cyber Security and Resilience Bill that emphasizes the critical role of managed services providers (MSPs) in national cyber defenses. Citing vulnerabilities exposed through past attacks, such as the 2018 Cloud Hopper incident, the Bill aims to regulate around 900-1100 MSPs under the Network and Information Systems Regulation (NIS) 2018. While acknowledging the potential for increased operational costs to comply with these regulations, the government believes such investments will enhance MSP reliability within the cyber landscape. Experts assert this is essential for improving the security of public data supply chains.
