In July 2019, the UK government published the long-awaited Telecoms Supply Chain Review (available here), setting out its plans to regulate the UK telecoms sector more heavily in order to improve cyber security risk management, policy and enforcement.
The Review sets out the concerns about the security and resilience of the UK’s telecoms networks, as being “largely related to: (a) inadequate industry practices overall, driven by a lack of incentives to manage security risks to an appropriate level; and (b) the risk of national dependency on a small number of viable suppliers.”
