Securing Cyberspace: Minister Doughty speech
In a world where we all live and work online, investing in cyber security and promoting responsible behaviour is an essential part of this mission, because fundamentally, and you will all know this, there is no national security, no economic security without cyber security. I wanted to highlight today and reflect on three key themes that will guide our approach as a new government.
The first of those is that partnerships are vital for success.
Secondly, I want to talk about responsible cyber behaviour. I will simply say that for the UK, this is about staying at the forefront of science and technology so we can understand threats and respond appropriately, and helping others do the same. For example, supporting cyber security nonprofit organisations like Shadowserver to share threat data.
Thirdly, I wanted to stress the importance of a whole of society approach.
That’s how we can ultimately keep our citizens safe, help our economies to flourish, protect our security and stand up for our values.
