Enhance cybersecurity awareness and survivability for DoD, industry partners, and academia in the face of the ever-increasing threat of cyber attacks. Cybersecurity (CS) includes managing risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information and the systems and processes used for those purposes, including analog and physical form. CS includes information availability, identification and authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation as well as the economic considerations with respect to selection of CS techniques, CS processes, and industry trends.

This is very good that they were able to stop these many attacks. By stopping these attacks, they were able to prevent the attackers access to vital information, particularly government information which as everybody in the world knows, is very important and top secret. Since they found out where these attacks came from, they have policies and procedures in places to stop further attacks like these, but then they might target businesses rather than the government. Even if these attackers are not arrested, by stopping them in their tracks, the UK government was able to prevent the loss of vital information to these attackers.
