Cyber Security and Resilience Bill

On July 17th 2024, it was announced at the State Opening of Parliament that the Labour government will introduce the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CS&R). The proposed legislation is intended to update the existing Network and Information Security Regulations 2018, known as UK NIS. CS&R will strengthen the UK's cyber defences and resilience to hostile attacks thus ensuring that the infrastructure and critical services relied upon by UK companies are protected by addressing vulnerabilities, while ensuring the digital economy can deliver growth.
