The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and Department for Science, Innovation and Technology are jointly leading policy on cyber security incentives and regulation to protect critical national infrastructure and promote economic growth. The McPartland review examines the relationship between cyber security and economic growth, while government monitors threats from nation states and criminal actors. This active policy addresses both defensive measures and incentive structures for private sector cyber resilience.
