answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>We take the growing threat of cyber attacks on our networks, systems and technology extremely seriously, and are taking action to defend against increasingly sophisticated attacks. Our systems are regularly targeted by criminals, foreign intelligence services and other malicious actors seeking to exploit Ministry of Defence (MOD) personnel, disrupt MOD business and operations, corrupt our systems and steal information. This is not unique to the MOD; other Government Departments and businesses are also affected.</p><p>In October 2016 we announced that the UK will invest £265 million to boost the defence of military cyber systems. This investment, supporting the new Cyber Vulnerability Investigations programme, will help the MOD better understand the cyber risks to our military equipment and systems. This will complement the £40 million investment into the Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC), enhancing our ability to secure Defence networks and systems against cyber threats.</p><p>Building on pioneering MOD science and technology, the MOD has completed cyber vulnerability investigations for a range of Defence systems and platforms, and is successfully mainstreaming the process into its ways of working.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 05/07/2017 15:55:44 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
