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. Our digital footprint has a growing impact on our physical and emotional presence, it affects people’s lives, emotions and decisions, and it is important that it is addressed at both the public and the private level.
Cybersecurity plays a vital role in all the usual features of government policy including health, education, infrastructure, privacy, the processing of data, and finance and banking. It’s a tremendous threat not just for the private sector but for the stability of the country, its democracy and its foreign policy. With a number of significant attacks on large corporates but also the government and the NHS itself, it’s about time that decisive action was taken in response to this threat.”
Guy works with international organisations like Delta Airlines, Royal London and National Express with a team of over 150 security specialists.
