question text	To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the estimated cost to the public purse was of the WannaCry cyber attack in 2017.
tabling member constituency	Leigh
tabling member printed	Jo Platt
uin	181321
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>It is not possible to estimate the cost to the public purse of the WannaCry cyber incident as no data was collecting during the incident on the cost of recovering data and IT systems or the cost on disruption to patient care. To determine the cost to the public purse would require collecting data from all organisations which itself would impose a disproportionate financial burden on them.</p><p> </p><p>The WannaCry attack was unprecedented in terms of scale and disruption affecting systems internationally international including several within the NHS infrastructure who fell victim due to basic vulnerabilities in their cyber defences.</p><p> </p><p>In their October 2018 publication on “Securing cyber resilience in health and care: a progress update”, the DHSC estimated the cost of WannaCry to the NHS being £92 million. The DHSC used a variety of factors (average number of NHS trusts involved) and categories (direct and resource) to estimate the financial impact on the NHS but this does not include a consideration of other organisations outside of the health and care who were also impacted. The DHSC report is available at the following link: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/747464/securing-cyber-resilience-in-health-and-care-september-2018-update.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/747464/securing-cyber-resilience-in-health-and-care-september-2018-update.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Since the 2017 WannaCry cyber incident, a number of steps have been taken to sharpen incident response plans across the NHS, providing new and mandatory training on cyber security to all NHS personnel and increasing investment in local infrastructure to develop a more robust cyber security posture.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 23/10/2018 09:11:24 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

uin	181323
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>Over the past twelve months, the NCSC received in excess of one thousand reports of potential incidents. These reports were triaged and prioritised using our new categorisation process, working closely with law enforcement where required. As was recently noted in the NCSC’s Annual Review, between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018, 557 of these incidents warranted an enhanced level of investigation. A smaller subset necessitated a cross-government coordinated response. For operational reasons we cannot provide a more detailed breakdown of the figures.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 23/10/2018 09:15:15 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The four Active Cyber Defence services are described in the National Cyber Security Centre’s Annual Review, published on 3 October 2017. They include working in partnership with industry to implement a series of measures, such as a protective DNS service for public sector to prevent unwitting exposure to known malware and phishing sites. Furthermore, the government will deploy email authenticity measures on government domains to help prevent phishing activity that relies on ‘spoofing’, and encourage industry to do likewise. We will scale up and enhance disruption activities that we already undertake for cyber crime and we have launched a service to help public sector bodies find simple vulnerabilities in their websites.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 14/11/2017 11:35:33 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
