Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Improving Cyber Resilience

Contribution

My Lords, the recent CYBERUK conference reported that the number of cyberattacks had doubled in the past year. This is costing tens—indeed, hundreds—of millions of pounds to businesses and is making people very nervous about their personal data. It is having a huge effect right across society. I welcome the fact that a new Bill is coming in, but we cannot wait for that. What is the National Cyber Security Centre doing now to review its strategies to proactively get businesses to sign up? Not many—a relatively small number—have signed up. Does it have sufficient staff to deal with this growing problem?
