Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps he is taking to support and spread awareness of cyber security insurance amongst businesses.

The best way for organisations to manage their cyber risk is by taking the appropriate measures to protect themselves. The Government has set up the National Cyber Security Centre to promote and provide guidance on the best ways for businesses to do this.

Additionally, the Government is working closely with the insurance industry through our quarterly Cyber Insurance Forum to support the sector in developing products and services for businesses and identifying ways the industry can promote these as a means for organisations to further reduce their cyber risk.
