The evidence received shows there was broad agreement among
respondents to the government’s analysis of the challenges around
supply chain cyber security. There was also broad agreement that
further support and intervention from the government would be
required. Further details are contained the attached document.
Also being published alongside this government response is new
research on how businesses are dealing with cyber security. The

protect the UK online and improve the cyber resilience of
organisations across the economy and society.
