The UK government is advancing its Cyber Security and Resilience Act, which gives ministers powers to block technology suppliers deemed high-risk from critical national infrastructure.

Commentators in the security community say the law marks a significant tightening of oversight over who can supply essential services.
Why now: Recent Iran-linked attacks on energy facilities have raised concerns about supply chain vulnerabilities in UK critical infrastructure.
