Businesses are not taking cyber security seriously enough, the Institute of Directors (IoD) warned today (Thursday 3 March), with under a third (28%) of cyber attacks being reported to the police. In a new report, Cyber Security: Underpinning the Digital Economy, supported by Barclays, the IoD revealed that companies were keeping quiet even though half (49%) of attacks resulted in interruption of business operations.

“Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) has today slammed the Government’s draft Investigatory Powers Bill for its lack of transparency, lack of clarity and lack of privacy protections. We urge the Home Office to take on board the wide ranging criticisms that the tech sector, civil society, and now even the Parliamentary committee that oversees the surveillance capabilities of the intelligence agencies, have made of their proposals. The ISC's report is clear on the requirement of a root and branch reconsideration of the legislation, pushing privacy to the forefront.
