A Conservative peer has joined calls to reform the Computer Misuse Act (CMA) days after the government declared that infosec and "cyber power" are the key to British foreign and industrial policy for the 2020s.
Lord Holmes of Richmond told The Register he wants to support British infosec companies, which he said were "held back for want of a few strokes of the legislative pen" in reforming the CMA.
"Over the next few weeks, I intend to be having conversations and meetings, both with colleagues, and indeed, with Home Office ministers to really understand what the level ground that we're all standing on is, where their issues are, and how we can work together to move this forward," said the House of Lords backbencher.
