A designed to tackle cybercrime, fraud and economic crime will reinforce the UK’ s reputation as a worldleading legal centre, the Lord Chancellor has announced.
Developed in partnership with the City of London Corporation and the judiciary, the cutting edge, purpose-built court – which will also deal with business and property work as well as civil cases – will hold 18 modern courtrooms and replace the ageing civil court, Mayor’ s and City of London County Court and City of London Magistrates’ Court.
A feasibility study to look at whether a court might be built was announced last October, and now the plan has been given the go-ahead.
The court will be built on the site of Fleetbank House in the heart of London.
Built next to some of the world’ s leading legal, business and technology firms in the heart of legal London, this court will be a sign to the world that the UK remains the global centre for law and finance.
ESET JOINS CYBERSECURITY TECH ACCORD
SET, a leading provider of
E threat detection software, has partnered with more than 30 other technology companies and joined the Cybersecurity Tech Accord.
By working together with a shared set of principles, the Cybersecurity Tech Accord hopes to leverage the combined commitment in order to negate the effects on cyberspace brought about by malicious actors.
Members commit to upholding the accord’ s core principles, ensuring that the protection of people and the consideration of ways to improve the security, resilience and stability of cyberspace remain a top priority.
The Cybersecurity Tech Accord is the largest group of companies to have ever become collectively involved and to have made a commitment to individually and jointly protect people and companies in this way. The combined resources of the members will make it a formidable force against cybercrime.
“ We are delighted to become a member of the Cybersecurity Tech Accord. It furthers the 30 years of commitment and unblemished track record that ESET has already established in protecting people, data and devices,” said Juraj Malcho, CTO at ESET.
“ With nation states and organisations developing cyberattacks that sometimes fall into the wrong hands, as we saw with the exploit used to deliver WannaCryptor last year, it’ s important we take collective action to stop malicious actors.”
