Cyber Security and Resilience Bill Following on from the King’s Speech, cyber expert Guy Golan, CEO, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of global cybersecurity firm Performanta, comments on the new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill the King introduced. “Following the King’s Speech and the introduction of the new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, I commend the King and the government for bringing this issue to the forefront of British politics and governance.

Survey finds 27.7% of crimes weren't reported to the police last year According to the National Crime & Community Survey 2023, conducted by Neighbourhood Watch and home security experts SimpliSafe, over a quarter of crimes, either experienced or witnessed, went unreported to the police last year.
Of these unreported crimes, 58.3% went unreported due to the respondent not believing that anything would be done – by far the most common reason given in the survey. From the 28,909 people who took part, there were 16,177 crimes that respondents had witnessed or experienced themselves, meaning that a staggering 16.1% of crimes were not reported for this reason.
