Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress the Government is making on (a) providing the advice that the economy needs to protect itself and (b) improving how that advice is given in order to maximise its effect as set out in paragraph 5.5.3 of the Government's National Cyber Security Strategy 2016 to 2021.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provides advice and guidance to citizens and organisations through a wide range of means including its website, events, bespoke engagement and the Cyber Information Sharing Partnership (CISP).

Government also issues advice on the simple steps that individuals and small businesses can take to protect themselves through its ‘CyberAware’ campaign, delivered in partnership with industry, the third sector and law enforcement.

We continually seek to improve the quality and relevance of all advice.
