Speaking at a trade event Alex Dewedney, director of cyber security at CESG :
I think the best way to sum up the challenge we face is that while we’ve done a lot over the past five years and spent quite a lot of money as a Government, particularly in those years of austerity we’ve been through, the bottom line is it hasn’t worked....I think we would be losing a lot more if we hadn’t done all the things we’ve done over the past five years.
So, don’t get me wrong. All of that has been worthwhile but there’s been something of a mantra in the UK that the solution to all of our problems is information sharing and public/private partnerships - that if we keep doing that then somehow it will magically cause improvement to happen.
That approach by itself is not sufficient.
