The CSBR, a new UK-based thinktank which focusses on resilience-related topics, has announced its first two policy programmes for the first quarter of 2025. Unsurprisingly given the UK Government’s intention to bring before Parliament during 2025 its bill of a similar name, ‘Cyber security and business resilience’ will be one of the programmes. The other will be ‘AI and healthcare’.
The CSBR was launched in the Palace of Westminster at the end of November and is led by former MP and member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Cyber Security, James Morris.
“The new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill announced by the Government is a major intervention to update the law around cyber and resilience. We want to bring experts together to make recommendations so that the Bill when published will meet current and, critically, future challenges. We’ll be considering issues such as what might be missing from the bill and how we anticipate it might need to be strengthened. By having this debate now, we can help to head off the possibility later of a Bill that doesn’t quite fulfil either its needs or its potential,” explained Mr. Morris.
The topic of cyber security and business resilience will be addressed in the form of private roundtables, evidence-based research, and reports, with policy recommendations as their output. Policy recommendations will be both published and sent directly to relevant stakeholders, including Government.
