On 14 February 2017, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) was officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen. A new NCSC report is intended as a snapshot in time that dives into the past, present & future of cyber security in the UK rather than a comprehensive testimony of the work that they will do.
