<p>The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) issues strategic warnings, regular advisories
and guidance to individuals, organisations and government. This includes a <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/keep-up-to-date/threat-reports?q=&defaultTypes=report&sort=date%2Bdesc"
target="_blank">weekly threat report</a> which is drawn from open source reporting
and the NCSC Annual Review which includes details of the cyber threat to the UK and
the NCSC’s actions to respond to and deter these threats.</p><p> </p><p>As it responds
to nationally significant cyber incidents, the NCSC constantly tracks the evolution
in cyber threats and uses the most appropriate mechanism to share updates with stakeholders
across the UK. It may be through:</p><ul><li><p>updates on its website, as it <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/keep-up-to-date/heightened-threat"
target="_blank">did recently</a> in response to the situation in Ukraine;</p></li><li><p>via
published advisories, including in concert with its international partners, such as
the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-110a" target="_blank">recent
alert on Russian and criminal threats to critical national infrastructure</a>;</p></li><li><p>through
the <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/keep-up-to-date/cisp" target="_blank">Cyber
Security Information Sharing Partnership</a> (CiSP); or</p></li><li><p>tailored briefings
to key sectors where required.</p></li></ul><p>This is part of a broader approach
to Cyber resilience, as set out in the National Cyber Strategy, launched in December
2021, by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (<a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2021-12-15/hcws484"
target="_blank">HCWS484</a>). The Strategy sets out how we will ensure the UK continues
to be a leading, responsible and democratic cyber power and able to protect and promote
our interests in the rapidly evolving online world. This includes our approach to
making the UK more resilient to cyber attacks and countering cyber threats. The strategy
is available at the following link:</p><p><strong><br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-cyber-strategy-2022/national-cyber-security-strategy-2022"
