It happens with many nation-states: Do as I say, not as I do.

It happens with many nation-states: Do as I say, not as I do.

The UK government launched an enquiry in September 2023 on how many data breaches were allowed to happen. It took 2 years to publish the report. You could not make up some of the stories. Classified MoD documents were mistakenly sent to a Russian ally instead of the US military, and the names of victims of child sexual abuse were made public.

While one waits for the UK cyber strategy, there are very high bars for the UK to cross when one considers EU, US, GCC, and APAC cyber regulations.

The Afghan data beach will cost a reported £7bn.

One feels it is now time for the UK government to make decisions on how it wants to manage cybersecurity and data breaches. While the Cabinet Office seems to lead the overall strategy, supported by NCSC partners, government departments are responsible for their cybersecurity and resilience. There are many agencies that have cyber roles, such as the National Crime Agency (NCA), the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and the Ministry of Defence.

One remembers the US having too many cyber cooks in the Kitchen (maybe still does) and driving towards a National Single Authority and Point of Contact under The White House, and the EU Driving Cyber through the European Commission and European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), then Member State National Authorities and Single Points of Contacts under EU NIS 2.
