| The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is calling for greater clarity from the government about which cyber security advice it wants UK businesses to follow Its new Cyber Security Implementation Profile is intended to define minimum cyber hygiene for UK businesses, but the government has previously endorsed two other sets of cyber security controls: the 'Top 20 Critical Security Control', published by the Council on Cyber Security, as well as its own '10 Steps to cyber security: an executive companion', which was published in September 2012. Hugh Boyes, IET cyber security lead, points out: "Having three separate sets of guidelines on cyber security, endorsing 20, 10 and 5 controls respectively, is very confusing. UK businesses are unlikely to understand which are the definitive guidelines and, worse still, there is a real danger that they will ignore the advice altogether, simply because there is no clear message about which guidelines are most applicable to them." | |||
