2020, which was one of the busiest years in the United Kingdoms witnessed a surge in the cases of cyber-attacks by 20%. Experts have commented that the situation of the pandemic COVID-19 had been a source of impetus to it.
Business organisations, all over the UK, have incurred 686,961 attempts by hackers to penetrate their systems and breach confidentiality. Sonia Blizzard states, “ The threat to UK businesses from hackers and other malicious elements online was magnified in 2020, as the volume of attacks continued to grow and the Internet became increasingly important to many more parts of the economy.”
Owning up to the voids and flaws that must have led to these cyber-attack attempts, the UK has decided to catch the bull by its horns by sharpening its cybersecurity measures. Adhering to this, the UK has now decided to invest in cybersecurity, even more, to tighten it to the point of making the standards of technology deployed to prevent cyber threats from being impervious by alien invasions.
GCHQ Director Jeremy Fleming, expresses his confidence in National Cyber Security Centre( NCSC) and National Cyber Force (NCF), located in London that makes the UK a leading power responsible for cyber all across the world.
This investment in cybersecurity forces will not only tighten the cybersecurity tools and technologies at use but will also ensure improvements of future technology in the domain of cybersecurity. Fleming has laid stress on the continuance of development and growth in cybersecurity technologies. Along with the investments made to fill the flawed gaps, Fleming has also emphasised the need for new policies that foster innovations and improvisations for technologies responsible for protecting office systems. This will help the UK to gain a strategic advantage.
