Neville-Jones: UK 'scrambling' to deal with cyber problems

The UK must "get serious" about building cyber resilience and the £650m allocated by the Treasury will "probably not" fully achieve what is required, David Cameron's former security minister has warned.

"We do have to get serious about high levels of resilience in key parts of the system which I don't think we are doing at the moment," she said.

"I think we are still at the stage now of quickly scrambling – nimbly – to actually deal with an emerging problem."
