The National Cyber Force that Britain needs?
Channel: War Studies KCL
Date: 04/05/2021

How should the UK counter state threats, terrorism and serious crime in cyberspace? Part of the answer to this question is the recent creation of the National Cyber Force (NCF). As cyberspace becomes the site of increasing competition and contest between states, it is important to explore the choices facing a broader range of states, including the UK.

The offensive cyber decisions facing the government are explored in a new joint report discussed at this event, which includes a panel of expert guests sharing their views on how the NCF might equip Britain for the challenges ahead.
