	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>High risk vendors are not in our most sensitive networks. On telecoms CNI, the Communications Act 2003 places an obligation on Telecoms operators to ensure that they have 'appropriate measures' in place to manage the security and resilience of the network. Ofcom are responsible for ensuring that operators meet their obligations under the Communications Act. In addition, the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) was established in 2010 as part of a wide mitigation strategy to minimise risk to the UK telecoms critical national infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>The HCSEC Oversight Board’s reports are publicly available and all telecommunications operators have access to its information. The latest Oversight Board report states that in 2018, several hundred vulnerabilities and issues were reported by HCSEC to UK operators. This information is expected to be fed into the operator’s corporate risk management processes. As I said in my Answer of 14 May, it is the responsibility of operators to ensure the security and resilience of their networks.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 21/05/2019 16:39:04 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
