Description

Total length of the course: <1 hour

The UK was an early mover in national cyber strategy, but building institutional capacity and translating it into effective deterrence and international influence has been an ongoing challenge. In this conversation, we trace the evolution of UK cyber policy from the first national strategy through the creation of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). We then examine how well military, intelligence, and civilian agencies coordinate in practice, and ask what role the UK should play in shaping international norms, before assessing whether the UK's cybersecurity posture is up to the challenges ahead.
