Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what preparations his Department is making to safeguard against a cyber-attack on public transport infrastructure.

The Department for Transport regulates transport Operators of Essential Services under the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018 to improve standards of cyber security and resilience, supported by technical advice and guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The NCSC, as the UK’s technical authority for cyber security, continually reviews its advice and guidance to reflect new trends and to outline how individuals and organisations can protect themselves, as well as providing swift support to organisations which fall victim to major cyber incidents.
