The Government has pledged to strengthen the UK's cybersecurity and resilience, as well as take greater advantage of data to boost economic growth through new Bills announced in the King's Speech.
In response to the ever-increasing risk of cyber attacks, the new Labour Government said it would introduce the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, which would give greater power to regulators to push more firms to implement better cybersecurity defences.
The Bill would expand the remit of existing regulation, put regulators on a stronger footing, and increase reporting requirements on businesses to help build a better picture of cyber threats to the UK.
A new Digital Information and Smart Data Bill is also part of the plan, enabling innovative data usage to drive economic growth, including the establishment of digital verification services like digital identities.
