The United Kingdom's National Cyber Security Centre is inviting members of the cybersecurity community to join its new Cyber League, which is a collective of industry experts that will work alongside the government agency to tackle security threats facing the U.K. Announced by the NCSC on Jan. 17, the Cyber League will support existing NCSC initiatives that bring together experts from the public and private sectors.
The Cyber League will see members of the cybersecurity and threat intelligence industries join NCSC analysts in workshops and discussion groups to exchange insights on the growing threat landscape.
Membership to the Cyber League is on a voluntary basis, with the prerequisite that members must demonstrably be involved in cybersecurity or threat intelligence and "Have a substantial UK connection."
The Cyber League will complement the NCSC's Industry 100 initiative, a program set up in October 2023 to improve the U.K.'s cybersecurity posture by fostering collaboration between the country's public and private sectors.
The Cyber League will likewise see experts from the public and private sectors convene to exchange knowledge and experience, with the goal of bringing about a more comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity issues.
"Initiatives such as the Cyber League are a great way for organizations to benefit from the knowledge and experience in the broader cybersecurity community," Fischer said in a statement shared with TechRepublic.
