Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he expects to publish the National Cyber Action Plan.

We will publish the business-first National Cyber Action Plan this summer. Our new National Cyber Action Plan will set out concrete actions for how we can strengthen our resilience and harness cyber’s enormous growth opportunities.

After recent high profile cyber attacks, there can be no doubt that more action must be taken to raise resilience levels across the economy, tackle the threat and maximise the opportunities for growth in the cyber sector. Our priorities for the new Cyber Action Plan are to improve resilience by incentivising businesses to invest in their own cyber security, sharpen government’s tools to tackle the most capable cyber actors and maximise opportunities to grow the UK cyber sector.
