NCSC Annual Review 2023

This year’s review demonstrates the sheer scale and breadth of the NCSC’s work to inform, influence and equip audiences with the tools, motivation and confidence they need to live and work safely online in the UK.

2024 will bring considerable challenges and more opportunities. As has been set out in this review, the protection of democratic processes will be a focus for the NCSC in the UK, as well as for global partners, as key elections shape the coming year. The NCSC is determined to remain agile in its approach, to ensure the UK is competitive and proactive aiming to sharpen its focus on emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence and quantum computing. We’ll prioritise our collaboration with sector partners, nationally and globally to reach our organisational aims. And 2024 will see CYBERUK move from Belfast to Birmingham, building on our commitment to ensure the NCSC's presence and guidance is felt across the UK.

Our heartfelt thanks to all those working inside and alongside the organisation, this year and every year. Our sector-leading, whole of society approach hinges on strong collaboration with industry, businesses, government departments and wider sector partners, critical to the success of our collective aim: to ensure the UK is the safest place to live and work online.

We can all be proud of our collective teams’ achievements, ensuring the online security of individuals and organisations, and we remain united in our pledge to ensuring cyber security remains a top priority for the UK and around the world.

As NCSC CEO Lindy Cameron outlined in her Foreword, we must be focused on the future if we are to deliver a more resilient UK.
