The Government will build cyber security resilience through: the adoption of National Cyber Security Centre’s ‘Active Cyber Defence’ measures, migration away from insecure legacy or unsupported IT systems (such as the type affected by the recent ransomware attacks) and the safe adoption of commodity technology and cloud services.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, Government will shortly issue new Baseline Cyber Security Standards to all central Government departments and their agencies. There is also sizeable investment and emphasis on creation of a new Government security profession that will create a pipeline of cyber security talent and address skills shortages. To further improve communications technology we are also investing in a new and highly secure shared IT service for departments with sensitive policy portfolios as well as developing specialist advice and support to protect Government’s most sensitive information areas of work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 05/07/2017 16:19:24 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
