Attacks on computer networks are among the biggest threats to the UK, Theresa May has said ahead of the publication of a new National Security Strategy.
Cyber terrorism was a "new and growing" danger, the home secretary said.
The BBC has learned there will be new money to bolster cyber security, focused on protecting critical infrastructure and defence assets.
The strategy will form the background for Tuesday's Strategic Defence Review, with defence cuts of 8% expected.

Yea the UK is under attack every day, and not just government computers its all of us, every Tom, Dick and Harry. Its about time software was implemented at the servers to filter out the Trojan's, spyware and hacking programs. The amount of money being wasted on outrageous government wast on things like paper at £75 per ream, when most of us can buy good quality stuff for only $5 per ream, could easily fund some useful purpose.
