<p>The UK has been at the forefront of demonstrating that there are meaningful consequences
to malicious cyber activity. We co-ordinate closely with a wide range of international
partners. We share our analysis of the threat and our experience in responding in
order to increase the capabilities and commitment of countries around the world to
respond and deter malicious cyber activity. We have a network of cyber attachés across
the world who work with international partners to raise awareness and build capacity
to defend against cyberattacks including coordinating on our approaches to attributing
malicious cyber activity.</p><p>Hostile actors must understand that irresponsible
behaviour in cyberspace will carry costs. The UK has been at the forefront of demonstrating
these consequences coordinating the use of existing tools and working to put in place
new tools such as EU and UK cyber sanctions regimes. In 2020 the UK, working in solidarity
with the EU, imposed cyber sanctions on 12 entities and individuals from China, Russia
and DPRK. Since 2017, working in solidarity with a growing coalition of international
partners we have attributed a number of malicious cyber incidents to Russia, China,
DPRK and Iran including attacks including NotPetya, WannaCry, Sandworm, APT28, APT10
and the Solarwinds compromise.</p>
