The head of Britain's GCHQ spy agency on Wednesday will call on businesses and the finance sector to work with intelligence officials to help secure the Internet and protect customers online.

In extracts of a speech to be given at a cybersecurity conference in Scotland, GCHQ head Jeremy Fleming said the signals intelligence agency would cooperate closely with manufacturers, Internet service providers, online platforms and banks to "take the burden of cyber security away from the individual."
