Data centres in the UK will now be recognized as critical national infrastructure, which means they will receive enhanced support from the government to protect against cyber threats and IT disruptions.
This designation aims to bolster the resilience of data centres, ensuring their protection alongside vital services like water and energy, thus facilitating economic stability and security.
Recognizing data centres as critical infrastructure is a significant step toward safeguarding essential information systems and encouraging further investment in the digital economy, according to Technology Secretary Peter Kyle.
As we navigate an increasingly digital world, this move is intended to reassure businesses and stimulate economic growth by ensuring that the infrastructure handling sensitive data is adequately protected.
