<p>The national security review underlines what the security community has known for some time: our critical infrastructure is firmly in cybercriminals’ crosshairs, and it’s time for a stronger response. In fact, according to a survey we conducted 72 percent of cybersecurity professionals believe nation-states should have the right to ‘hack back’, and retaliate against cybercriminals and other adversaries who level attacks on their infrastructure.</p> <p> </p> <p>As the UK looks to boost its cyber defences in areas such as critical infrastructure, there must be greater focus on defending digitally transformed businesses that will lead the UK out of its largest economic slump since the 1700s.
