Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department is taking steps with the insurance industry to help build resilience to large-scale cyber attacks.

Good cyber security is a first line of defence which protects industry, end users and the insurance industry alike from cyber attacks.

The Government’s approach to driving up resilience through the National Cyber Strategy includes working with market influencers, including insurers, to incentivise good cyber security practices across the economy.

The Government regularly engages with the insurance industry to consider how it can best support the growth of the cyber insurance market and help build wider economic resilience to cyber attacks.
