Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps the Government is taking to improve the UK’s cyber security.

The 2016 National Cyber Security Strategy sets out in detail the Government’s approach to improve the UK’s cyber security. This includes a wide range of measures to defend our people, deter our adversaries and develop the capabilities we need to ensure the UK remains the safest place to live and do business online.

One of the most visible elements of the strategy is the creation of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), to improve our prevention and response capability and ensure that citizens and business have the best advice on how to protect themselves. For more on their role, the NCSC’s second Annual Review can be found at https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/annual-review-2018.
