The UK government has released the prospectus for its National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), ahead of the launch of the facility this Autumn.
The blueprint [PDF] outlines that the NCSC will act as a hub for sharing best practices in security between public and private sectors, and will tackle cyber incident response.
As previously reported, the NCSC is being set up to aggregate the UK’s cyber expertise. Working with the Bank of England on new cyber security guidance for financial firms is also due to be among its initial objectives.
In the prospectus, Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock explained: “The Centre will be the bridge between industry and government, simplifying the current complex structures, providing a unified source of advice and support, including on managing incidents. It will be a single point of contact for the private and public sectors alike.”
Ciaran Martin, former director general of cyber-security at GCHQ, has been appointed chief exec of the NCSC leading the new centre, which will report into GCHQ. For the full article click here
