Foreign secretary William Hague signed up to the Cyber Resilience principles put forward by the WEF, with the UK joining over 70 companies and government bodies across 25 countries in committing to securing digital networks from cyber attacks. Hague said in a statement that public and private sector organisations must work together to ensure that business can be conducted in a safe digital environment. “We hope that signing the WEF Principles on Cyber Resilience will encourage business leaders all over the world to lead the way in creating shared principles for a resilient and thriving internet,” Hague said.
