Businesses, UK government team against cyber attacks |
July 06, 2013
Lockheed Martin, BT, and BAE Systems are among a group of defense and security companies that have pledged to support the U.K. government in bolstering the security of the country against sophisticated cyber attacks.
By pooling their experience of operating under constant threat of attack, the so-called Defense Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP) says the alliance will identify and implement actions that have a real impact on the cyber defenses of the members of the partnership and the U.K. defense sector as a whole.
The DCPP model is intended to lead the way in industry collaboration and action on cyber security and to act as a template which can then be followed by commercial sectors to improve resilience across U.K. industry.
"I'm absolutely delighted by the level of commitment shown by the participating companies in helping us to build our national resilience against cyber attack, and I look forward to more of our key contractors coming on board," said Minister for Defense Equipment, Support and Technology Philip Dunne.
