The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will officially launch tomorrow, October 1, and will open for service on Monday.
Alison Whitney from the NCSC was speaking at the recent Cyber Security in Healthcare conference when she said that the website will be the first indication that they will be ready to go. The site is due to be launched on Tuesday, October 4.
The government described the intended activities for the NCSC, as well as how it works and the people it works for, earlier this year, but was yet to provide a specific launch date.
The NCSC will be based at new London premises, in addition to offices located close to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Whitney said:
“The primary goal of the NCSC is to simplify the complicated [cyber security] picture across government that made it difficult for organisations to know who to talk to. It brings together all the key organisations under a single organisational umbrella to provide better support and bridge the gaps between government, industry and critical national infrastructure.”
Whitney added that the NCSC has four primary goals, with preparatory work undertaken in the summer, along with pilot studies and trials.
The goals are to diminish the level of cyber security threat to the UK, to competently respond to attacks and limit damage to the country, to gain an awareness of the cyber security landscape and to improve the strength of cyber security in the UK, providing more stability in major cyber security challenges facing this country.
