Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the target figure is for the objective relating to the number of online products and services coming into use being secure by default by 2021 as set out in objective 5.2.3 of the Government's National Cyber Security Strategy 2016 to 2021.

‘Secure by Default’ refers to solving security problems at root; acting at scale to reduce the harm to online systems. There is no target figure due to the magnitude of online products and services. The National Cyber Security Centre is developing secure systems so that the burden on users to make the right decisions is reduced. Additionally, the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is currently leading a comprehensive review on how we can improve the security of consumer connected devices and services.
