Conclusion
A whole-of-society approach means recognising that firms are only as secure as the weakest link in their supply chain. A small company can play an economically critical role. SMEs require more support in their efforts to confront an ever more volatile and uncertain internationalenvironment. This support needs to go beyond new guidance and ensure that smaller firms have access to the necessary funding to implement security measures that improve both their resilience and security and that of the national economy.
