The UK government's Cyber Resilience Pledge will launch later this year, giving organizations a concrete set of steps to strengthen defenses and reduce supply-chain risk. It asks companies to make cybersecurity a board-level responsibility, enroll in the NCSC Early Warning Service, and require Cyber Essentials certification across supply chains. The initiative aims to improve resilience across the UK economy, although some experts argue a voluntary approach may not be enough.
