In November 2011, we published the UK National Cyber Security Strategy.</p><p>From 2011 to 2016, the Government funded a £860 million National Cyber Security Programme to deliver the strategy’s vision of ‘a vibrant, resilient and secure cyberspace’. The objectives of this Programme aimed to:</p><ol><li>Make the UK one of the most secure places in the world to do business in cyberspace.</li><li>Make the UK more resilient to cyber attack and better able to protect our interests in cyberspace</li><li>Help shape an open, vibrant and stable cyberspace that supports open societies</li><li>Build the UK’s cyber security knowledge, skills and capability.</li></ol><p>We have presented regular reports to Parliament on progress against the Strategy’s objectives. Today I am publishing the final report for the Programme.</p><p>The report summarises progress during 2015/16 against the Strategy’s objectives, reviews the impact of the Programme since it was established, and looks ahead to the new 2016 National Cyber Security Strategy and Programme.</p><p>There has been significant progress towards reaching these goals. As a result of Programme initiatives:</p><ul><li>We have enhanced national capabilities to protect and defend ourselves against those who would do us harm.</li><li>Businesses of all sizes and sectors are now better protected.</li><li>We have a greater share of the international cyber security market.</li><li>Our online government services are increasingly secure.</li><li>We are actively tackling cyber crime.</li><li>We are playing a leading role in international cyber security.</li><li>We are actively building our cyber skills and knowledge.</li></ul><p>In partnership with business, the academic community and international partners, we have built a solid foundation for the future. We are grateful to partners for their collaboration and efforts. The Government cannot deliver these goals on its own.</p><p>Against a backdrop of increased threats we have improved the UK’s effort to enhance cyber security. But there is more to do. The 2015 National Security Strategy confirmed that cyber remains a Tier 1 threat to the UK’s economic and national security. As a result, the Government will publish a new National Cyber Security Strategy this year, which will define our vision and ambition for the future. The Government will further increase investment in cyber security to £1.9 billion over the next five years.</p><p>We will continue to report progress to Parliament.</p>","house":"Lords","noticeNumber":0,"hasAttachments":false,"hasLinkedStatements":true,"linkedStatements":[{"linkedStatementId":512726,"linkType":"JointStatement","linkDate":"2016-04-14T00:00:00"}],"attachments":[]},"links":[{"rel":"self","href":"/Statements/512748","method":"GET"}]}
