YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe new #UK government plans to strengthen the nation’s defenses against cyberattacks, a month after a ransomware hack crippled #London hospitals and health care providers.
#Labour introduced the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill on Wednesday as part of its maiden legislative agenda, outlined in the #King’s Speech to mark the first session of #Parliament since the general election. Although delivered by King #Charles III in a pomp-filled ceremony in Westminster, the speech is written by the government and lays out Prime Minister Keir #Starmer’s priorities. #politics
The bill aims to shore up defenses for supply chains, an increasingly attractive target for hackers. It will also mandate more comprehensive government reporting if companies are hit with ransomware attacks.
The focus on supply chains highlights the growing threat to the UK’s often-underfunded public services and the suppliers that plug into them. In June, hackers targeted Synnovis, a pathology provider that serves UK hospitals and conducts millions of medical tests annually. The attack suspended blood-testing services and led to the cancellation or postponement of thousands of operations and appointments. Services continue to be disrupted, the National Health Service said in its most recent update on July 11.
