Cyber Security

Cyber security and resilience are essential to a thriving digital economy, helping organisations protect critical systems, services and data while enabling innovation, growth and trust.

As digital technologies become embedded across every sector, organisations face a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Strong cyber resilience helps organisations, public services and critical infrastructure withstand, respond to and recover from cyber threats while continuing to deliver the services people rely on every day.

We bring together industry, government and stakeholders to strengthen the UK's cyber ecosystem, shape effective policy and support the growth of the cyber sector.

Our take

Cyber resilience is essential to a secure, thriving digital future.

Cyber security is no longer solely a technical challenge. It is a strategic priority that underpins trust in digital services, supports economic growth and protects the systems people depend on every day.

As cyber threats evolve in scale and sophistication, collaboration between industry and government has never been more important. By bringing together technology companies, policymakers and users, we can strengthen the UK's cyber resilience while supporting innovation and growth. Through our Cyber Resilience programme, we help members engage with policymakers, share expertise and collaborate on the issues shaping the future of cyber resilience.

  • Global Context

    Around the world, governments and organisations are investing in cyber resilience to secure digital transformation, protect critical infrastructure and maintain public trust - and we're helping UK cyber security companies lead the way. As digital technologies become increasingly connected, cyber security plays a critical role in enabling economic growth, international competitiveness and resilience. Our UK cyber security members are helping organisations navigate this evolving landscape, providing products, services and expertise that strengthen security across sectors and international markets.

  • UK Strategic Impact

    The UK is home to a vibrant and growing cyber security sector that supports organisations of all sizes, drives innovation and contributes significantly to the economy. Through our Cyber Resilience programme, we work with members and policymakers to support the development of effective cyber policy, encourage adoption of cyber security best practice and create opportunities for collaboration across the cyber community. We connect industry expertise with government priorities, helping to strengthen the UK's cyber ecosystem and support its position as one of the world's leading cyber security economies.
