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.

What would be the wider implications of such a move, how would cyber-insurance come into play, and how might cybercriminals respond? Find out in Tony’s video.
