UK Government Set to Introduce New Cyber Security and Resilience Bill

The UK government aims to increase the country’s cyber-resilience by introducing the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, which will extend the scope of the current NIS Regulations 2018 to protect more digital services and supply chains. The legislation includes mandatory ransomware reporting and expands regulatory powers. It follows a significant ransomware attack on an NHS supplier and escalating cyber threats cited from China and Russia.
