It has been reported that the Government announced that it has partnered with UK tech giant Arm as it pumps more than £50m into a new programme to improve the country’s cybersecurity. Chipmaker Arm, which was bought by Softbank in 2016, will receive £36m to develop new chip technology that is more resistant to cyber-attacks. A further £18m will be injected into a new scheme aimed at cracking down on online disinformation, fraud and misuse of personal data.

Software is critical infrastructure. As a species, we are increasingly dependent upon software in our daily lives, at work, for our health care, for our finances, and for every other critical infrastructure.
The UK government has taken a bold and necessary step to improve the security of this foundational critical infrastructure. At the same time, the security of a system is only as strong as its weakest link, which is often the vulnerability of applications. We look forward to future.....Read More
