Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:50 pm on 8 January 2020.
Well, I'm not going to back away from our commitment to support the cyber sector in Wales. It is something that I think we should be really proud of, and the fact that we're developing the cyber centre in Ebbw Vale, an area of massive deprivation, where there is a commitment to help develop an education facility there, there have been events to encourage women, in particular, to enter into the cyber security sector. I think this is something we should be really proud of, and there is, of course, a danger and there's a possibility that there's a link between defence and other areas, but I think you've got to understand that, also, we all need cyber security. We need it for our computers here. Factories need it. You need it to get on an aeroplane. It is something that permeates every aspect of our society, and if you think you can divorce one from the other, I think it's really important that we understand the importance of cyber security for almost every aspect of our lives.
