Remaining stages of the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Parliament will complete the remaining parliamentary stages of the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill, which updates the UK's rules for protecting critical digital infrastructure from cyber attacks. The bill modernises how essential services—banks, energy networks, hospitals, and telecoms—must defend against cyber threats and report security incidents, replacing an earlier EU-derived directive with a regime tailored to current risks.

This legislation affects every organisation that runs critical national infrastructure and millions of citizens who depend on those services. Failure to pass robust cyber protections leaves the UK's essential services exposed to state-sponsored and criminal cyber attacks, with direct consequences for financial stability, public health, energy security, and economic continuity. The bill is a central plank of government digital resilience policy.
