Chapter 03: Keeping pace with evolving technology
Resilience is only as strong as the technology it’s built on
The NCSC is focused on ensuring that our defences remain agile, adaptive, and future-ready. As technologies such as post-quantum cryptography (PQC), AI and passkeys redefine both the threat and the tools we use to build cyber resilience, the NCSC is playing an active role in shaping the development of these foundational technologies. Our contributions to global standards around AI and PQC will underpin cyber security for decades to come, and will help to make the internet, organisations that use it and UK citizens more secure.
