UK to Put Higher Emphasis on Cybercrime Prevention
The UK is to develop a new emergency response unit to help give individuals and companies instant advice when their computer systems and networks come under sustained attack, according to an article from The Guardian.
The proposal is one of several announced by the Cabinet Office, now when the government says threats from cyberspace should be given tier-one priority. The Ministry of Defence is also planning to develop a “cyber reserve” of specialists from the private sector to give the military some backup, the article says.
