A UK trade trip to India has established a cyber-security deal between the two countries.

The security agreement is designed to safeguard data relating to UK customers, and reassure the UK government that India’s infrastructure is secured against cyber-crime.

Downing Street has commented that the security deal would "mark an unprecedented level of co-operation with India on computer security issues”.

The deal is expected to open up UK business to Indian companies as security fears are remedied.
