We take our responsibilities in this area seriously, and leverage a variety of methods to keep the Department and its people safe, and to fulfil our mission to safeguard national security. These include delivering security training, maintaining a strong internal security culture, recognising signs of people risk through comprehensive oversight, and delivering a range of support and guidance to staff to keep them aware of the latest threats. Moreover, the Department makes use of specific cross-HMG programmes such as 'Think Before You link' https://www.cpni.gov.uk/security-campaigns/think-you-link and has introduced a Cyber Confident programme to improve awareness of the Cyber threat, to help personnel spot potential targeting from hostile states and act appropriately if this occurs.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 18/05/2021 11:37:23 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
