The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill aims to strengthen the UK's online defenses and protect essential services from cyber threats. After its announcement following a Labour victory in 2024, it seeks to extend safeguards to IT service providers and other critical operators, increasing secure operations across both public and private sectors. The government highlights significant economic impact from cyber attacks, emphasizing the necessity of this legislation to ensure confidence in digital services and overall economic growth, particularly in light of past costly incidents.
Economic growth is the cornerstone of our Plan for Change, and ensuring the security of the vital services which will deliver that growth is non-negotiable.
Attempts to disrupt our way of life and attack our digital economy are only gathering pace, and we will not stand by as these incidents hold our future prosperity hostage.
The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, will help make the UK's digital economy one of the most secure in the world - giving us the power to protect our services, our supply chains, and our citizens.
