Recommendation 18

In increasing the resilience of institutions and technology, the UK must not lose sight of people-based threats. People are an organisation’s greatest asset, but they can also be its most unpredictable vulnerability. The UK’s adversaries can be expected to target individuals for influence, blackmail, 95 espionage and even physical harm. As more sectors of the economy are recognised for their importance to economic security, so must the UK’s appreciation of the scale of this threat grow. (Conclusion, Paragraph 62)
