Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what role they intend to play in the proposed G7 tabletop exercises related to AI-enabled cyberattacks; whether the exercises will include scenarios involving (1) autonomous agents, (2) simultaneous disruption to multiple financial institutions, and (3) the failure of critical third-party service providers; and whether the principal findings will be published, subject to national security considerations.

The UK participates in G7 cross border coordination exercises which seek to enhance preparedness across jurisdictions, reinforce the financial sector’s capacity to withstand a range of cyber threats and reduce potential disruptions across G7 jurisdictions.

Cyber security is a top priority for the Government, and HM Treasury works with international partners to strengthen the financial sector’s resilience to threats and hazards of all origins.
