While the CNI designation and the proposed bill are indeed commendable steps , it is important to acknowledge that cybercriminals are persistent and continuously evolving .
However , while the CNI designation and the proposed bill are indeed commendable steps , it is important to acknowledge that cybercriminals are persistent and continuously evolving . Their interest in CNI will likely remain high due to the potential impact of successful attacks .
Therefore , continuous vigilance , regular updates to security protocols , and strong public-private partnerships are essential to effectively deter these threats and safeguard our critical infrastructure .
Overall , these measures signal a positive shift towards a more secure digital future for the UK , with the government and private sector working handin-hand to protect our most vital assets .

Network resiliency is now a necessity rather than a luxury , and the government is right to classify data centres as critical national infrastructure . However , it ’ s equally important to recognise the role that the rest of our network infrastructure plays .
Data centre locations rely on network infrastructure , both terrestrial and subsea , to connect to each other and the Internet . Navigating disruptions , such as those experienced during the Olympics or recent cyber-incidents like Crowdstrike , relies heavily on the security of this underlying infrastructure .
It ’ s important that the government , infrastructure providers and data centre operators work together so that all elements of this critical national infrastructure function reliably . This will enable critical organisations , such as the NHS , rail networks and finance systems , to continue to operate smoothly .
