Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I do not have a figure for the previous years. However, based on the figures for the first three quarters of this year, we expect that that figure will be exceeded over the course of 2021. We are seeing a gradual increase in activity from the types of organisations that want to do damage to states, to state infrastructure and to private sector companies. We are responding accordingly. The Deputy will have seen the decisions that the Government took in July of this year to make sure the NCSC has the capacity to respond to incidents as they arise.
