UK will 'strike back' if it comes under cyberattack, says government | #CyberSecurity  | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
International hackers and cyberattackers who launch operations against the UK will be retaliated against, the government has warned, as it sets out plans to protect infrastructure, business, and citizens from online threats.

These tactics form part of the government's National Cyber Security Strategy, an effort to boost defences against a variety of online threats.

The strategy, backed by £1.9bn in funding, was originally set out by the Conservative government under David Cameron.

"Our new strategy, underpinned by £1.9bn of support over five years and excellent partnerships with industry and academia, will allow us to take even greater steps to defend ourselves in cyberspace and to strike back when we are attacked," Philip Hammond, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, is set to say in a speech in which he argues Britain "must now keep up with the scale and pace of the threats we face".
