The government is spending £50 million on expanding a cyber training centre to improve the cyber defence in the UK and increase cooperation with the US.
The facility, based in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, will benefit international partners, including the US, by exchanging knowledge and ideas in cyberspace operations.
Dubbed the new Defence Cyber Academy will develop sovereign and international courses to support the UK’s goal in advancing the national cybersecurity profession.
DCMS statistics show that cyberattacks across the government, including espionage activity and ransomware, cost an estimated £100 million last year.
