Adrian JohnsonThe UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is creating a new Cyber League, inviting members of the cybersecurity community to join and work alongside the agency to tackle security threats. The Cyber League will facilitate knowledge sharing in cybersecurity and help track and address emerging threats in the UK. Membership is voluntary, but applicants must have a substantial UK connection and knowledge of cybersecurity. The initiative will complement the NCSC’s Industry 100 (i100) program, which aims to foster collaboration between the public and private sectors to improve cybersecurity. The NCSC’s efforts come in response to the need for greater messaging around cyber risks and the decline in cyber hygiene practices among UK businesses. Overall, the Cyber League aims to provide a united front against cybersecurity threats and create a more comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity issues.
