Summary
The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is a UK government proposal to strengthen cyber defences for essential public and digital services. Introduced to Parliament on 12 November 2025, it reforms and expands the Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018. The aim is to improve protection against cyber attacks affecting services such as energy, water and the NHS, while also supporting economic stability by reducing disruption and business costs. The GOV.UK page is mainly a document hub, linking to the Bill, factsheets, impact assessment, research, and background materials, including the April 2025 policy statement and earlier reviews of existing cyber regulations.
