This work is complementary to other government priorities aimed at protecting UK citizens online, such as the draft Online Safety Bill and policy to counter economic crimes such as fraud. The MR18 and MR26 are dual concurrent 2×2 and 3×3 respectively, resembling the current 802.11n access points, the MR16 and MR24, in spec. They may appear quite similar on the surface, but the entire solution has been redesigned, tweaked, and overhauled, leaving no component un-optimized. As a society, cyber is for everyone. Through this strategy, the government is doing more to protect UK citizens and companies, and its international partners – helping realise its vision of cyberspace as a reliable and resilient place for people and business to flourish. Established in 2020, the National Cyber Force (NCF) is responsible for operating in and through cyberspace to counter, disrupt, degrade and contest those who would do harm to the UK or its allies, to keep the country safe and to protect and promote the UK’s interests at home and abroad. The NCF is made up of a roughly equal share of personnel from defence and intelligence and brings together their expertise, resources and authorities under a single command structure. It will be based in Samlesbury, Lancashire.

Provide a holistic view of activity across the five pillars, reducing duplication and identifying strengths and weaknesses within the country’s cyber power Cyber power requires a whole-of-society approach. Our competitive advantage will come from our ability to nurture and harness talent across the UK and get the right people working together in the right ways across the whole public sector, industry and academia, pulling together the whole cyber community. We will need to form a genuine integrated delivery partnership with industry and ensure a broad geographic approach across the nations and regions of the UK, working closely with the devolved governments of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and seizing the levelling up opportunity that cyber power presents. We will achieve the following outcomes by 2025: NCSC for Startups is pointing innovators towards the most important strategic challenges while its startups have already taken part in over 160 new corporate trials. An integrated fourth Bluetooth radio provides seamless deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of Bluetooth devices. The MR36 enables the next generation of location-aware applications while future proofing deployments, ensuring it’s ready for any new customer engagement strategies. We will work to uphold an open and interoperable internet as the best model to support global prosperity and wellbeing, resisting the pressure of authoritarian states towards fragmentation and their idea of internet sovereigntyThe Priority Call feature ensures the availability of a radio channel in the event of an emergency and allows a dispatcher or Incident Commander to interrupt all existing calls on a channel. Stationary Detection: Emergency mode is triggered along with the user ID of the sender when the radio remains in a stationary position for a period exceeding a pre-set time, indicating that the user is unable to operate the transceiver, or it’s has been lost, mislaid etc. GPS equipped radios can additionally send the location (GPS coordinates) of the user to a command centre using software such as KAS-10 and KAS-20 AVL and Dispatch suites. Tarian Regional Cyber Crime Unit is a multidisciplinary team of police officers and staff seconded from the Welsh Police forces. Their mission is to contribute towards the provision of a safer and more secure cyber-environment in Southern Wales. The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs and the Secretary of State for Defence have responsibility for the National Cyber Force, as a joint endeavour between defence and intelligence.

These advanced safety features offer an added layer of protection in support of emergency protocols with the ability to automatically send alerts and alarms to the command centre and/or other radio users, for example: Priority Call:

Unparalleled insight into current and potential cyber threats – intent and capability – to UK interests;

Each radio uses a mobile data SIM card to communicate over the mobile phone network, meaning that the "range" is potentially from anywhere in the country to anywhere else. This makes these radios absolutely ideal for: Improve our ability to anticipate, assess and act on the science and technology developments most vital to our cyber power. NCF operations can be used to influence individuals and groups, disrupt online and communications systems and degrade the operations of physical systems. This type of activity is often referred to as offensive cyber (OC).

Some of the areas we cover within the security sector are:

In this context, cyber power is becoming an ever more vital lever of national power and a source of strategic advantage. Cyber power is the ability to protect and promote national interests in and through cyberspace. Countries that are best able to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the digital age will be more secure, more resilient and more prosperous in future. The UK is one of the world’s most digitally advanced nations and this government has an ambitious technology agenda, at home and abroad. This means we are especially exposed to the challenges of cyberspace but also uniquely well-placed to lead the way in seizing its opportunities for our citizens and for the common benefit of humanity. an innovative, prosperous digital economy, with opportunity more evenly spread across the country and our diverse population Utilising the NCA’s extensive international network to support partner country interventions with intelligence and evidence The CyberFirst courses and Discovery programme have engaged nearly 300,000 young people aged 11-17 in the last five years. a major step up in data sharing across government and industry as outlined in the Resilience chapter

Information and data on the threat is routinely shared at scale and pace and those who receive it are more able to take action. The NCSC has trialled a range of initiatives to build up more effective communities of network defenders, across a wide variety of sectors, who not only receive and are able to share threat information, but are increasingly capable at using it for collective benefit. We will expand this work, with an initial focus on helping government defend itself better, supported by the Government Cyber Coordination Centre (described in the Resilience chapter). The Financial Sector Cyber Collaboration Centre is already leading the way in the private sector. [footnote 35] The UK has stronger Crypt-Key capabilities and services in government, able to meet the evolving needs of the UK and our allies and ensuring we remain at the forefront of Crypt-Key development. We will provide strong technical leadership to understand user requirements and improve our core services, including provision of key material and assurance of products and systems. We will also transform Crypt-Key services, harnessing new technologies so that they become more flexible and invisible. And while we focus in this chapter on cyber resilience, to be fully effective this will need to form part of a holistic, whole-of-society endeavour to improve UK resilience. The forthcoming National Resilience Strategy, a key commitment of the Integrated Review, will set out the overarching approach to national resilience. For this strategy to succeed we need to ensure that the UK has the right people, knowledge and partnerships. We must have a diverse and technically skilled workforce, a vibrant research community, an internationally competitive cyber sector and a thriving regional innovation ecosystem that enables us to take the lead in critical technologies, all built on stronger partnerships between government, industry and academia. Handsets need be tough enough to withstand large impacts, and protected against dust and water damage. In environments where hazardous materials or substances are used, safety is also key. Radios will need to be explosion-proof, safe and reliable. Lone Worker and Personal CallingHorizon-scanning – a systematic examination of information to identify potential threats, risks, emerging issues and opportunities allowing for better preparedness and the incorporation of mitigation and exploitation into the policy-making process. Despite efforts to understand the risk and take preventative actions some incidents will still occur. We need to strengthen capabilities for incident management and response across all organisations, to minimise the harm caused and provide better support to victims. We will achieve the following outcomes by 2025: WEP***, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X, WPA3 - Personal**, WPA3 - Enterprise**, WPA3 - Enhanced Open (OWE)** The people, knowledge, skills, structures and partnerships that are the foundation of our cyber power, underpinning all the other components and integrating them into a national approach Authentication – the process of verifying the identity, or other attributes of a user, process or device.
