King marks National Cyber Security Centre’s 10th anniversary

King Charles has marked the 10th anniversary of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, known as the NCSC.

He congratulated its staff and praised their work defending the country against cyber attacks.

The centre works to protect democratic institutions, businesses, public services and critical infrastructure that people rely on every day.

Charles said online disinformation and hostile activity pose challenges to trust and security.

He also warned that malicious actors are adapting their tactics with automated technologies.

The NCSC’s work matters because cyber threats can affect the systems and institutions that support daily life.

Charles said training the next generation of cyber security professionals is important for the country’s future.

The centre’s anniversary marks a decade of service, though no further plans were announced.
