Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, over the past 12 months, how many individual devices issued by government departments have been identified as containing malware.

The government does not comment on issues concerning national security.

The Government Cyber Security Strategy, published in January 2022, sets out how we will build and maintain our cyber defences. The strategy outlines how departments must be able to minimise the impact when malware is found.
