The House of Commons Defence Select Committee (HCDC) published its report on the MOD’s approach to Cyber Security on 9th January. It rightly draws attention to the extent of the UK’s defence capability’s reliance on cyber related technology. This is both an advantage and a risk. The advantage lies in the UK’s expertise in this area. The risk lies in the central nervous system of the UK’s defences becoming paralysed.
