Defence: Cybersecurity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 120 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, what progress he has made on fusing CyberEM activity in pursuit of (a) sovereign and (b) NATO operations.
Answered by Al Carns
The Ministry of Defence works closely with allies and partners on shared mission sets in preparing for future operational scenarios.
The newly established 2 star Defence Cyber and Electromagnetic Force (within Cyber and Specialist Operations Command) will drive the fusion of these efforts, with a particular emphasis on electromagnetic operations. This approach aims to ensure that insights from the Ukraine conflict are applied to both present and future sovereign and NATO strategy development and operational planning.
