The UK government has published new draft cybersecurity guidelines for businesses. According to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the new ‘Code of Practice on cyber security governance’ provides guidance for senior leaders on how best to protect their organisations from cyberattacks and recommends they treat the risk of such breaches as equal to legal and financial pitfalls. It forms part of the government’s £2.6bn National Cyber Strategy, though no new funding for law enforcement agencies to prosecute cybercrime was announced today. 

“It’s crucial that bosses and directors take a firm grip of their organisation’s cyber security regimes – protecting their customers, workforce, business operations and our wider economy,” said the minister for AI and intellectual property, Viscount Camrose. “This new Code will help them take the lead in safely navigating potential cyber threats, ensuring businesses across the country can take full advantage of the emerging technologies which are revolutionising how we work.”
