The @JointCtteNSS held two cyber-focused evidence sessions yesterday. I'm only caught up on one of them, re: offensive cyber (looking forward to watching the ransomware one soon). The offensive cyber session is worth a watch for the thoughts of @DrAndrewDwyer & @tcstvns.

Today two of our steering committee members - @DrAndrewDwyer and @tcstvns - will be providing evidence to a session on 'Offensive Cyber' to the JCNSS.
On Monday, we're holding an evidence session to examine the Government's progress in tackling ransomware threats.
We'll also explore whether the UK is making the most of its offensive cyber capabilities.

I had completely missed that DSIT (finally!) published their areas of research interest.
For anyone looking at cyber policy there are almost 50 ready-made project ideas. Get cracking!
