techUK's new series 'Safeguarding Critical National Infrastructure in the Digital Age' is spotlighting a number of different sectors within CNI to better understand the risks that are associated with cyber-attacks and the importance of implementing updated NIS regulations to better protect the UK for the future.
DSIT and techUK have developed Cyber Exchange to help map the UK cyber security sector. The platform helps organisations discover innovative cyber companies, supports investment and highlights key opportunities across the UK sector.

Cyber Security groups
Our members currently lead the following workstreams.
Cyber Security Group
The Cyber Security Group provides a coherent voice for industry working in "high threat" areas - including defence, national security and resilience, the protection of critical national infrastructure, intelligence and organised crime. The Group offers a forum for government, industry and the wider stakeholder community to discuss policy, strategy and implementation issues.
Cyber Security Management Committee
The Cyber Security Management Committee sets the strategic vision for the cyber security programme, helping the programme engage with government and senior industry stakeholders. The Committee is made up of elected representatives, and elections are held once every two years.
Cyber Security SME Forum
Our new group will keep techUK members updated on the latest news and views from across the Cyber security landscape. The group will also spotlight events and engagement opportunities for members to get involved in.
