Each approach will depend on national circumstances, and the particular risks as they are manifested in each country. It is important that we work closely with allies in this critical area and share experiences and approaches, with the aim of raising global cyber security standards and diversifying the supply chain. The Government is doing that and will continue to engage closely with allies.
