National Cyber Strategy: Foreign Secretary's statement
The Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has released a statement on the launch of the UK's National Cyber Strategy.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said:
Technology allows us to enjoy incredible freedoms. These freedoms, however, are threatened by malign actors seeking to undermine democracies in the digital world and beyond. Now is the time for the free world to fight back, and harness the power of technology, to promote freedom not fear.
The new £2.6 billion National Cyber Strategy, launched today, will solidify the UK’s position as a leading democratic, responsible cyber power. We will set the rules, roles and responsibilities that govern a free, open and secure cyberspace that benefits all global citizens.
We will create a network of liberty with our fellow responsible cyber powers to defend against criminal and malign use of cyberspace. We will unleash the very best of British innovation, developing next-generation technology that protects us and our allies from those who seek to undermine us.
