Cyber Security

The UK's cyber security mission is led by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a part of GCHQ. 

The NCSC works closely with international allies, law enforcement and the UK’s intelligence and security agencies to understand the cyber threat, and how to defend against it. 

It also harnesses talent across schools, universities, and the tech community, driving research into emerging technologies to explore new ways to reduce harm at scale.  

At the same time, the NCSC invests in the UK’s national security by nurturing the next generation of expertise that the expanding cyber security sector needs to thrive. 

When cyber incidents do occur, the NCSC provides effective incident response to minimise harm to the UK, helps with recovery, and learns lessons for the future. 

The NCSC operates the pioneering Suspicious Email Reporting Service, which allows the public to forward suspect emails to [email protected]. From inception in April 2020 until 31^st August 2025 the NCSC had received over45 million reports and taken down over 400,000 malicious URLs.
