Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made with Cabinet colleagues of the UK's vulnerability to cyber-terrorism.

The UK is becoming increasingly digital, connected and online. This increases our exposure to a range of cyber threats from a variety of actors.

As set out in the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST 2023, the threat from terrorism is enduring and evolving, with the threat we see today and in the coming years becoming more diverse, dynamic and complex.

Cyber terrorism was part of the threat landscape used to inform the CONTEST 2023 strategy and we remain constantly vigilant to new terrorist and cyber tactics.

This government is committed to maintaining investment in critical threat assessment capabilities, including through the world-class Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

We continue to use all of HMG’s available levers to disrupt cyber threats and to keep the public safe.
