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> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 11/03/2019 10:05:20 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
