Show ▼
DCMS is now providing central advice to help museums, galleries, and arm’s-length bodies improve cyber-resilience and reduce the impact of cyber-attacks. The move follows parliamentary criticism that the department had been reactive rather than strategic on cyber threats. It also follows earlier sector incidents, including the British Library ransomware attack and thefts from the British Museum.
