<p>The Government does not routinely assess the cost of responding to an individual
cyber incident, nor is it a requirement for public sector bodies to report incident
information to the Cabinet Office. Consequently, we do not hold this information centrally.
The <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/annual-review-2018" target="_blank">National
Cyber Security Centre’s Annual Report (2018)</a> provides the total number of incidents
it has dealt with over the past year.</p><p> </p><p>Public Sector agencies can access
guidance and support on a wide range of cyber threats from the National Cyber Security
Centre (NCSC), for example through the Active Cyber Defence measures provided free
of charge to the public sector as detailed in the NCSC's annual review.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government’s National Cyber Security Programme co-ordinates the effective implementation
of the National Cyber Security Strategy and manages the £1.9 billion programme of
investment. Through this programme we build government cyber security capability by
ensuring government networks and services are secure and that we have people in post
with the right skills and a strong talent pipeline for the future.</p><p> </p>
