UK Sets Eyes On Becoming a Major Cyber-Force

Following recent reports of cyber attacks by major international players like China and Russia, the UK has decided to take it’s cyber security abilities to the next level.  The government recently announced that it plans to invest £1.9 billion over the next five years in a new cyber defence plan, called the National Cyber Security Strategy, to prepare and fight back against cyber attacks in the future. Details of the investment were revealed by Chancellor Philip Hammond in a speech at Microsoft’s event in London. According to Hammond, the investment will also involve new partnerships with private and public organisations to develop technology. He explained: “Our new strategy will allow us to take even greater steps to defend ourselves in the cyber-space and to strike back when we are attacked”.
