Cyber security

In response to an ICT related query by conservative Mark Pritchard, McNulty revealed on the 19th March 2008 the steps that have been adopted to improve cyber security and resilience across the government departments.

McNulty claimed that constant monitoring and upgrading of government networks, including the GSI – the government’s intranet, were measures in place to protect cyber security.

GCHQ (the Government Communications Headquarters) – a British intelligence agency, also provides assurance to the UK government through warnings, alerts and emergency response.
