<p>The Cyber Accelerator programme is giving our innovative companies access to world
class experts in government, academia and industry to ensure the UK is the safest
place to go online and start a digital business. No estimate of the numbers of consumers
who will benefit has been made, nor is one planned. This would be hard to do with
accuracy.</p><p>The NCSC Cyber Accelerator, and London Office for Rapid Cyber Advancement
(LORCA) work with companies to develop products and services that will enhance the
UK’s cyber ecosystem, servicing the needs of national security and industry, as well
as consumers.</p><p>In the past 18 months the first two cohorts of the NCSC Cyber
Accelerator have raised more than £20 million in funding, and created 19 UK jobs.
The Third cohort started in October 2018. The nine companies selected to take part
in LORCA’s first programme started in July. LORCA are currently recruiting for a second
cohort to start in early 2019.</p>
