Governments around the world are looking to upgrade their cyber defences 
against a range of threats. 

In the Indo-Pacific region, Japan, Australia, India and the US met in Tokyo 
to discuss the threats posed by China to both cybersecurity and maritime 
safety in the region. 

The UK on the other hand is desperately exposed to cyber threats, according 
to the governments Science Secretary Peter Kyle (via The Guardian ). Threats 
and risks on the rise 

Japans Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa said at the summit held in Tokyo that, 
In order to have the prosperity in the region, we must ensure stability of 
the foundation in maritime, cyber and space domains. We Quad nations aim to 
protect the foundations of prosperity in the Indo-Pacific as we seek to 
achieve an international community of co-existence and co-prosperity. 

Without specifically mentioning China, she also stated that a certain country 
was launching cyber attacks and escalating tensions in a certain region, 
further stating that We Quad nations aim to protect the foundations of 
prosperity in the Indo-Pacific as we seek to achieve an international 
community of co-existence and co-prosperity (via Independent ). 

The US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, reconfirmed his commitment to 
combating Chinas activities in the region, including its accelerating 
rhetoric regarding forcibly reuniting Taiwan with mainland China, stating, We 
have not lost sight, indeed we are resolutely focused on this region that we 
share. 

On the other side of the globe, Peter Kyle has blamed the former Conservative 
government for eroding UK resilience to both cyber attacks and future 
pandemics. National resilience suffered terribly, catastrophically, he said. 
The open warfare of the previous government prevented any kind of progress in 
these areas and left our country desperately exposed not just to a future 
pandemic but also to cybersecurity issues. 

His comments followed a warning by the National Cyber Security Centre stating 
that the UK was falling behind the capabilities of countries launching 
state-sponsored attacks against UK critical infrastructure. 

A new cybersecurity and resilience bill is set to be introduced to the UK 
Parliament, alongside its AI Bill announced during the Kings speech. More
