62 • BUSINESSSUPPORT PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE THE NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY »»“FOR THE FIRST TIME the government will have a dedicated, outwardfacing authority on cyber, making it much simpler for business to get advice on cyber security and to interact with government on cyber security issues,” explained says the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, when he launched the government’s National Cyber Security Strategy for the next 5 years. He continued, “The new strategy is built on three core pillars: defend, deter and develop, underpinned by £1.9 billion of transformational investment. “Allowing us to deploy the high level skills that government has, principally in Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), to support the development of commercial applications to enhance cyber security. The Centre subsumes CERT UK and will provide the next generation of cyber security incident management. This means that when businesses or government bodies, or academic organisations report a significant incident, the Centre will bring together the full range of technical skills from across government and beyond to respond immediately. “They will link up with law enforcement, help mitigate the impact of the incident, seek to repair the damage and assist in the tracing and prosecution of those responsible. “Across all its strands, the National Cyber Security Strategy we’re publishing represents a major step forward in the fight against cyber-attack. It is a key component of the government’s ambition for Britain to be the best place in the world to run a tech business. “And it sets out clearly how we intend to develop our partnerships with business to achieve that. But government cannot be solely responsible for managing cyber risk. Chief executives and Boards must recognise that they have a responsibility to manage cyber risks, just as they would any other operational risk. “Similarly, technology companies must take responsibility for incorporating the best possible security measures into the design of their products. Getting this right will be crucial to keeping Britain at the forefront of digital technology security – itself a growing business sector - creating the most secure cyber environment anywhere; where government, business, security agencies and academia work together to defeat the hackers and the phishers, the criminals and the rogue states.” Source: GOV.UK Bespoke Courses Available Advanced Locksmith Training NCFE Accredited Courses Keytek Academy - Industry Leading Training TM Whether you are looking to add another string to your bow or simply TM keen to polish up on your existing skill set, Keytek have the right course for you.
