DSIT introduces Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to protect essential UK services

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has tabled the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill in Parliament, designed to reinforce the UK’s cyber defences against cybercriminals and state-backed threats.
