As the opening of the UK’s newly formed National Cyber Security Center in London is announced, the attention given to improving cyber defence at a national level is beginning to increase globally. In the face of threats and attacks that are continually growing in their sophistication and damage, the need for a cooperative discussion around cyber security across the government, military and law enforcement, is required in order to start trying to find the forefront of this uphill battle.
