Business Secretary, Vince Cable has spoken out about the threat to critical infrastructure posed by cyber-crime - and new research shows that this is an issue of primary importance to the public.The independent research, part of the regular Attitudes to UK Industry study commissioned by industrial communication specialists CadenceFisher and in association with industrial security services, software and hardware company Rockwell Automation, showed two thirds of UK adults had an opinion on critical infrastructure security and that a high percentage of those (86%)* worry about the danger to life posed by unauthorised access to industrial systems.
The BBC quote Mr Cable: "It is particularly important that those industries providing essential services such as power, telecommunications and banking are adequately protected to avoid disruption to our everyday lives. We can only achieve this objective through a partnership between government, the regulators and industry."
His point is supported by the majority of UK adults, 97% of who said that industrial security from online threats is the combined responsibility of everyone involved in industry.
