The UK's Cyber Security Knowledge Transfer Network (CSKTN) has backed a Conservative Party's plan on national security that includes some aspects on cyber security, a news report has said.
"There are concerns about cyber attacks originating from foreign shores, but keeping these nations at arm's length will make this worse," Tony Dyhouse, director of the CSKTN, was quoted as saying by Computer Weekly.
During the launch of the green paper last week, Conservative Party leader David Cameron acknowledged the existence of hundreds of thousands of cyber attacks to British businesses every year.
In other news, monitoring internet service providers (ISPs) to implement tougher regulations and legal action for filesharing and media piracy online is "tremendously difficult", an expert has said.
Mark Jackson, editor of ISPreview, said in order to monitor traffic, ISPs require expensive "Deep Packet Inspection" technology which is "tremendously difficult for both big and small ISPs to afford without significant price rises or support from the government and rights holders".
