SweX · Apr 11, 2013

The Centre, announced by Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague, will receive £500,000 ($766,000) in UK government funding every year, and will cooperate with other governments to deal with cyber threats. The center will also work with private sector companies and international organisations, towards the goal of becoming a “leading global resource for understanding how to achieve effective cyber security.”

The new unit, described as a “fusion cell”, will be made up of team of 12 to 15 analysts from intelligence agencies MI5 and GCHQ. The analysts will work from an undisclosed location in London to build an “intelligence picture” of threats to the UK, which will be shared with 160 leading companies.
