*UKHotViewsExtra* Government updates National Cyber Security strategy

Our latest analysis of the UK government's updated National Cyber Strategy details the measures being taken to encourage the expansion and improvement of the country's cyber security provision in the face of escalating attacks.

The new three year framework aims to help the UK build and maintain world class cyber security defences and establish a pool of professional talent and ambitious start-ups that will contribute to the country’s economic expansion and digital expertise.

It replaces the previous five year National Cyber Security Strategy which was supported by £1.9bn of funding but was criticised by the National Audit Office (NAO) and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for lacking a business case and failing to demonstrate value for money. The latest framework shares much of the same ambition with a few notable differences, but will its success be any easier to measure?
