security and provides tailored advice. For example, the Cyber-Security Information Sharing Partnership (CiSP) allows industry and government to exchange cyber threat information in real time and in a secure environment, increasing situational awareness and reducing the impact on UK business. More than 2,000 organisations are now part of CiSP. Those firms with a substantial stake in managing Critical National Infrastructure may also receive bespoke advice from NCSC cyber security advisors, including from the NCSC incident management, following a cyber incident and can benefit from tailored support. To mark its launch in February 2017, the NCSC made freely available a tool to eliminate spoof emails that had been used to stop 300 million fake emails. Businesses in the most exposed sectors will also benefit from training facilities, exercises, testing labs, security standards and consultancy services provided or reinforced by the Government. Similarly, the NCSC’s WebCheck service is available to scan websites for vulnerabilities and identifies strengths, weaknesses and out-of-date certificates all in an automatically generated report. The United Kingdom recognises that improving cyber security is a long-term project – that is why we have pushed forward with a second five-year strategy and made further investment to support these goals. Forward-looking plans include: - Further deepening our national capability to detect and address high-end threats; - Ensuring law enforcement has the skills and capabilities needed to tackle cybercrime and maintain the confidence needed to do business on the internet; - Improving cyber awareness and risk management among UK business, as well as highlighting the economic opportunity that cyber security provides through exports; - Ensuring members of the public know what they can do to protect themselves and are demanding good cyber security in the products and services that they consume; - Bolstering cyber security research and education, so we have the skilled people and know-how needed to keep pace with this issue into the medium-term; - Exploiting the opportunities cyber offers to grow our domestic cyber security sector and improve cyber security exports; and - Working with international partners to bear down on havens for cybercrime and build capacity, and to help shape international dialogue to promote an open, secure and vibrant cyberspace. International approaches The United Kingdom recognises our economic prosperity and social well-being increasingly depend on the openness and security of networks that expand beyond our own borders. We all stand to benefit from a free, open, peaceful and secure cyberspace and we have a shared responsibility and mutual interest in improving our collective cyber security. No national government can tackle the cyber threat alone, and international collaboration is central to our strategy. We reiterate our unequivocal support for the multi-stakeholder model, whereby governments do not exercise exclusive control over a domain and infrastructure that is largely owned and operated by the private sector. The international debate on cyber security should recognise the importance of this model, in particular its emphasis on shared responsibility. While the nature of our future relationship with the EU is still to be determined, our relations with European partners on cyber security in support of our common security and prosperity remains as important as ever. For example, the EU Foreign Affairs Council agreed in June 5
