Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks affecting transport services and infrastructure.

The Department for Transport (DfT) views the cyber security of its sector as a priority and works with partners across UK government and law enforcement to employ policy and legislative levers to drive cyber security resilience levels up.

DfT is responsible for regulating cyber security in the transport sector, working with partners such as the Civil Aviation Authority to introduce relevant standards, guidance, and policy to ensure the cyber resilience of our essential services. We are supporting the Cyber Security & Resilience (Network & Information Systems) Bill currently going through Parliament which will strengthen our defences and ensure that more essential digital services than ever before are protected.
