Prime Minister David Cameron has said the government will invest £650m to address 'shortfalls' in cyber security.
This came as he announced the findings of the first defence review for 12 years.
Cameron
said: "Over the next four years, we will invest over half a billion
pounds of new money in a national cyber security programme.
"This
will significantly enhance our ability to detect and defend against
cyber attacks and fix shortfalls in the critical cyber infrastructure on
which the whole country now depends."
Responding to a challenge
from Ed Miliband, Cameron said that the cyber investment represented a
"long term decision" amidst the government's cuts.
This follows
news that National Security Strategy considered cyber security issues to
be amongst the government's "Tier 1" group of threats.
