Energy: Cybersecurity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to engage with the energy sector on protecting itself from hostile state cyber attacks.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government takes the security and resilience of UK energy infrastructure extremely seriously, including the cyber security of its critical infrastructure and maintaining a secure energy supply is a key priority for the UK Government.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and security agencies engage regularly with critical industry stakeholders via industry forums and threat briefings to ensure threats to energy infrastructure are understood and appropriate mitigations are established.
