<p>NATO-wide Cyber Defence is provided by NATO's Computer Incident Response Capability
(NCIRC) which delivers centralised protection for many NATO sites. The NATO Communications
and Information Agency (NCIA) has recently undertaken a major upgrade of NCIRC's capability
with enhancements delivered in monitoring of core networks on NATO sites on a 24/7
basis. NCIA will continue to manage the upgrade of NCIRC's capability to best protect
NATO owned systems from the evolving threat.</p><p>Progress enhancing the NATO Cyber
Defence was most recently discussed at Ministerial level, at the February NATO Defence
Ministerial and will be discussed again at the June Defence Ministerial as the Alliance
prepares for the WALES Summit in September. The UK continues to pay a central role
in moving this issue forward across a whole range of activities such as incentivising
national cyber defence capability development to develop Alliance-wide cyber defence
capability, information sharing and exchanging best practice.</p>
