Recently an old colleague, Dr Andrew Rogoyski, came to lecture to our MSc students on how government deals with cyber security.

The UK has the most Internet-centric economy in the G20 group of industrialised nations according to research by the Boston Consulting Group released in March 2012. It estimates that the UK’s internet economy was worth 121bn in 2010, more than 2,000 per person.

However, recognising the threat is slightly different from actually doing something about it.
