Following a recent roundtable with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) on government’s Call for views on software resilience and security for businesses and organisations, techUK will be running a further session with members on Monday 3 April (14.00-15.30) to gather their general input and cover the parts of consultation document that were not touched upon during the session with DSIT.
More about this Call for Views
Through this Call for Views, government aims to better understand where to prioritise any support available to software customers, distributors and developers and the digital environments they operate in order to boost organisational resilience across the UK.
The Call for Views also seeks input to understand how the government can support companies to mitigate risks linked to software, where that support should be prioritised with regard to the numerous industry players, and how to support industry in its own initiatives to improve organisational resilience.
The purpose of this roundtable
This online roundtable discussion will help to further inform techUK’s official response to this Call for Views and we would encourage members interested in software resilience and security to come along.
We will touch upon all three parts of the consultation – 1) the cyber security risks associated with software; 2) the measures industry already has in place to manage these risks; and 3) a broader discussion on the future action could government take to support/incentivise UK companies to better address software security risks – as well as their relevant questions within the consultation document.
Please note that this event will be fully virtual, and we encourage members to (re)familiarise themselves with the details of consultation before attending. We also encourage members to submit individual responses to the consultation, prior to the official deadline of 1 May 2023.
If you would like to participate in this roundtable discussion, please book your place now.
