Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress the Government is making on moving towards automated information sharing so that cyber security systems automatically alert each other to incidents or attacks, as set out in paragraph 5.6.8 of the Government's National Cyber Security Strategy 2016 to 2021.

The Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is developing an operational capability to exchange cyber threat information at scale, using open standards, with organisations in the UK and international partners. Following an initial trial, NCSC is evaluating a number of commercial offerings, and their integration into NCSC’s threat-intelligence systems, to ensure the effective delivery of this capability.
