UK MOVES TO BLOCK HIGH-RISK TECH SUPPLIERS FROM CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

UK ministers tabled amendments to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill on August 24. The changes let them block high-risk technology suppliers from critical sectors. The move followed an Iran-linked attack that shut a UK energy facility for four days. The bill already mandates tight incident reporting and penalties, and SMEs supplying critical operators may face exclusion without adequate controls.
