As the UK mulls new rules for ransomware disclosure, what would be the wider implications of such a move, how would cyber-insurance come into play, and how might cybercriminals respond?

Additionally, proposals include banning ransom payments for critical national infrastructure entities to deter cybercriminals from targeting vital services.
