At a national level, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provides advice to UK Government and industry on actions to take in response to cyber threats. In the context of current tensions, the NCSC has updated its guidance to strengthen cyber security and resilience, and offers a range of free cyber security tools and services as part of its Active Cyber Defence programme.

The Ministry of Defence has heightened its posture against cyber threats, is taking steps to harden its networks and systems, and is reinvigorating the workforce's cyber awareness.
