Global Leadership
Cyber security is a global challenge which demands an international response. Since its creation, the NCSC has worked closely with international partners and institutions to share information, capabilities and skills to help improve cyber defence. Although hampered by travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the NCSC continued to be a key player in the international effort to make the internet as safe as possible.
This section describes how the NCSC used its network of cyber security experts and leaders in the UK and around the world to support a free, open, peaceful, and secure cyberspace, and to protect and promote protecting the UK’s interests as a responsible power in cyberspace.
The NCSC’s global approach is based on its:
-
Presence
In multilateral organisations and standards development organisations, and ability to draw upon other government partners’ overseas networks.
-
Partnerships
With other technical authorities, industry and academia.
-
Capabilities
Unique ability to share intelligence with overseas partners, the NCSC’s public-facing nature, and its robust strategic communications.
