UK government cyber security initiative
The National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) is a UK government programme established to enhance the United Kingdom's resilience to cyber threats.
History
The NCSP was launched in 2011 as part of the UK's National Cyber Security Strategy. It aimed to make the UK one of the most secure places in the world to do business online. Key components included the Cyber Security Information Sharing Partnership (CISP) and the establishment of the Cyber Security Information Sharing Partnership Fusion Cell in March 2013.[1][2]
Funding
The 2011 strategy allocated £650 million over four years (2011–2015) for cyber security initiatives under the NCSP. The Cabinet Office distributed the budget primarily to defence and security entities, with GCHQ receiving the largest share to expand global cyber threat analysis, network defence capabilities, and host the Ministry of Defence's Joint Cyber Unit.[3][4] Funding supported skills development, research, critical national infrastructure protection, and international engagement.
