It was a pleasure to attend the Police Authority Board dinner as it presented an opportunity to learn from and discuss with, those at the cutting edge the issues of cyber security and policing as it impacts economic crime and intellectual property. Businesses and people increasingly operate online to deliver economic, social and other benefits, making everything more dependent on the internet. However, the internet is inherently insecure, and attempts to exploit its weaknesses are growing. I’m pleased to say the UK Government and City of London police, together with other law enforcement entities are working hard to combat those risks, bringing together thought leaders on cyber security.
