In the last 12 months cyber experts within the new National Cyber Security Centre received 1,131 incident reports, with 590 classed as ‘significant’.
A report published to mark the first anniversary of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) highlights the work undertaken by the organisation to help improve the safety and security of online activities and transactions in the UK.
The NCSC, which is part of GCHQ, exists as a single, one stop shop for UK cyber security.
The centre acknowledges there is still a lot of work to be done but points out the progress in the first 12 months, which includes preventing thousands of attacks, providing support for the UK Armed Forces and managing hundreds of incidents.
The NCSC has also helped to foster a pipeline of the next generation of experts and is working with businesses and universities to nurture technology for tackling cybercrime.
According to Jeremy Fleming, director of GCHQ, cyber is playing an increasingly important part in daily lives and in the UK’s approach to security, with threats evolving rapidly as technology advances.
“Our response has been to transform to stay ahead of them. The NCSC is a pivotal part of that transformation. It is a critical component not only of GCHQ, where it benefits from the data and expertise it has access to as part of the intelligence community, but of how the government as a whole works to keep the UK safe,” Fleming said.
