The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, hosted US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at Downing Street recently for a joint industry roundtable. The meeting reaffirmed the close ties between London and New York as leading global financial centres and announced the creation of a new Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future.
The task force will provide recommendations to both governments on how the UK and US can work more closely together in financial areas such as:
Digital assets – exploring both short-term opportunities while regulation is still developing and long-term possibilities for innovation in wholesale digital markets.
Capital markets – identifying ways to make it easier for UK and US firms to raise funds across borders, reducing unnecessary burdens and strengthening competitiveness.
The task force will feed its recommendations through the existing UK-US Financial Regulatory Working Group and report within 180 days.
If you have a device that is behaving strangely, this may be because of malware – a form of cyber attacks.
The guidance explains what you need to do confirm whether your device is infected, and what you can do to try and fix it. NCSC highlight that you are likely to lose any data that wasn’t backed up in your ‘last known’ good backup; however, trying to rescue data while your device is still infected runs the risk of carrying the problem through even after your device has been wiped and reinstalled.
A DoS attack will make your website or network unreliable or unresponsive, which could be critical to your business.
NCSC provides guidance on what to do and how to defend your business from this threat.
