<p>Malicious actors, both State and non-State, are conducting activity that is detrimental
to UK interests and those of our allies, whether directly targeted at us or not. Cyber
attacks have grown in intensity, complexity and severity in recent years as these
actors are becoming bolder and take more risks for economic, strategic, regional or
financial gains. The UK Government has demonstrated that it will defend against, counter
and identify those who seek to do us harm. The UK works with its international partners
and in multilateral fora to call out those who are responsible for malicious and disruptive
cyberattacks. Working closely with foreign agency and industry partners, Government
agencies identify and mitigate vulnerabilities and manage and resolve incidents if
they occur. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Centre for the Protection
of Critical National Infrastructure (CPNI) routinely assess the threat from a range
of actors to our most critical sectors.</p>
