The Partnership, one of a set of engagement points with industry on Cyber
Security, provides an opportunity to raise awareness of cyber crime amongst
members, helping them to become more resilient to the threat. To date, it has
provided a forum for partners to share views on key changes to the law
enforcement landscape on cyber and contribute to key actions in the Strategy.
This includes work to coordinate cyber security messages to the private sector.
