The Cyber Security Information Sharing Partnership (CiSP) is a joint industry and government initiative set up to exchange cyber threat information in real time, in a confidential and dynamic environment. The benefits of CiSP include giving members a secure environment to engage with industry and government counterparts, supplying early warning of cyber threats, and helping members learn from their experiences and successes of other users. In October 2018 the total number of organisations registered on CiSP is over 6500 and the number of individual users registered is over 11,600.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-24T15:15:55.193Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cybersecurity"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many (a) organisations and (b) individuals have signed up to the cyber security information sharing partnership.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4673", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Platt"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leigh"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jo Platt"} ], "uin" : "181641"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/991248", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/991248/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has commissioned research into cyber security roles in the UK Labour Market, which includes private organisations, charities and public sector organisations of a variety of sizes and sectors.<\/p>
<\/p>
The research is focused on identifying what are cyber security skills, who works in cyber security roles (size of cyber security teams, level of seniority, skills set of the individuals), what are the current skills available and what are the current skills gaps in the market.<\/p>
<\/p>
Once complete, we expect to publish this research and its recommendations which will then feed into our strategic development of cyber security skills interventions going forward. This is in line with the government\u2019s commitment to ensuring the UK has a sustainable pipeline of cyber security talent.<\/p>

The guidelines within the Code of Practice bring together what is widely considered good practice in Internet of Things (IoT) security. As a voluntary document, it provides clarity to industry on the steps that are most important in protecting consumers\u2019 online security and privacy.<\/p>

We remain in discussions with a number of manufacturers and are working towards securing additional industry pledges in the future.<\/p>

The Code was drafted throughout 2017 and 2018 in cooperation with industry, consumer groups and academia.

The Cyber Breaches Survey 2018 reported that, of the 5.7 million businesses in the UK, nine per cent of all businesses were aware of the Cyber Essentials scheme. This level rising to 23 per cent within medium sized firms and 37 per cent in large firms. The Cyber Essentials scheme provides the basic controls all organisations should implement to protect themselves against the most common internet based threats. The scheme is part of the broader suite of Government guidance and support on cyber security. This includes the Cyber Security: Small Business Guide launched in October 2017, which provides quick, easy and low-cost cyber security advice to small businesses; Ten Steps to Cyber Security guidance, which shows organisations how to manage cyber risk and prevent attacks; and the Cyber Aware campaign, which offers practical advice to small businesses, encouraging employees and customers to adopt simple, protective cyber security measures.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-23T16:43:01.617Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cybersecurity: Business"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to his Department's document, Cyber Security Breach Survey 2017, published in April 2017, how many businesses he estimates are aware of the Cyber Essentials programme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4673", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Platt"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leigh"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jo Platt"} ], "uin" : "179330"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/987876", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/987876/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Under the Regulations made earlier this year to implement the Security of Networks and Information Systems Directive (016/1148) and improve the security and resilience of the UK to Cyber Threats, Competent Authorities in the UK are required to identify the operators of essential services with an establishment on UK territory by 9 November 2018. This process is currently ongoing but as of June 2018 Competent Authorities had identified 513 operators of essential services in the UK, with further operators to be identified by 9 November.<\/p>
