Will the armed forces £10bn shortfall affect the UK's cyber ability?

Ewan Lawson, senior fellow for military influence at the Royal United Services Institute, is largely unimpressed with the attitude towards cyber. He notes a general unwillingness to get serious about defending not just new systems, but old ones too. “There's a danger well end up carrying more risk as a result of this shortfall on the defensive side, and on the offensive side I just don't think that we're necessarily yet in a place to exploit the possibilities”.
