called for more and continued industry collaboration amongst membership and training bodies linked with cybersecurity skills and professional development.

Doing so will bolster the cross-industry work that has built the new UK Cyber Security Council, as well as further collective efforts to advocate for members and greater industry awareness of cybersecurity trends and threats.

The creation of the Council, by the cross-industry Cyber Security Alliance, will bring cybersecurity in the UK in line with other professions such as law, medicine and engineering.

"The UK Cyber Security Council will help to foster greater skills development and attract more trained professionals to maintain the U.K.'s position as a world-leading cybersecurity skills and innovation centre," said Clar Rosso, CEO of².

"As a member of the Cyber Security Alliance,² has been heavily involved throughout the project to launch the Council. Together, the Alliance organisations have invested considerable time and resources alongside the funding from DCMS to build the Council, establishing an unprecedented new level of cooperation within our industry."

The Council was conceived in late 2018 within the UK Government's Initial National Cyber Security Skills Strategy policy paper, which called for a new, independent body to professionalise the cybersecurity skills sector and support Government efforts to improve the UK's cybersecurity resilience and skills base.
