The UK will be one of the safest places in the world to do business, with a world-class cyber security industry and workforce thanks to a new plan underpinned by £1.9 billion of investment.

This is close to double the fund set aside back in 2011 for the first leg in the war against cyber crime, estimated to cost US $ 445 billion globally.

This isn't just about business or the consumer, you have to take on boards that hackers see legitimate targets as defence systems, power grids, hospitals, air traffic control systems and are always looking for silos of personal data that will give them sufficient data to take over a bank account or clone a new one. 

Very significant progress has been made to nullify various scammer methods already but this particular war will be never endin, though nice to know we are creating the a cyber workforce equivalent to  the SAS to fight the bad guys.
