Asked by:
Lord Carlile of Berriew (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question
to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, under the process of conducting the forthcoming Strategic Defence and Security Review, they considered creating a new stand-alone government office for National Cyber Security, the purpose of which would be to manage the cyber security programme and continue to develop the public sector–private sector partnership.
Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley
The Strategic Defence and Security Review will look comprehensively at cyber security. We cannot speculate on the outcome of the Strategic Defence and Security Review.
The Government is already focusing its efforts on building partnerships with industry, academia and international partners. The benefits of stable and secure cyberspace show the need for shared responsibility in improving the UK’s cyber security.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the next United Kingdom Cyber Security Strategy will outline the steps they plan to take to address cyber breaches and protect the United Kingdom economy from the threat of cyber attack.
Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley
The UK Cyber Security Strategy, published in November 2011, sets out how the UK will support economic prosperity, protect national security and safeguard the public’s way of life by building a more trusted and resilient digital environment. The next UK Cyber Security Strategy will continue this work and will include steps to address cyber breaches and protect the UK economy from cyber attack.
