Joint Cyber Reserve
(asked on 25th February 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answers of 10 December 2014 to Questions 217147 and 217149, for what reasons providing the number of people recruited to the Cyber Reserve may undermine national security.
This question was answered on 4th March 2015
We are significantly growing the number of dedicated Cyber experts in the Ministry of Defence but, like other sensitive Defence capabilities, revealing details such as the number of recruits would indicate capability to our adversaries - possibly helping them to degrade or counter that capability. Recruiting is comfortably on track to deliver the cyber reserve by April 2017.
