MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The United Kingdom’s proposed new National Cyber Force (NCF) will bring together assets and personnel from multiple intelligence agencies, including MI6, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down, the Ministry of Defence said in a press release on Thursday.
The Ministry of Defence said that the NCF’s operations could include disrupting the communications of known terrorists or preventing the internet from being used as a site for criminal activity.
The NCF is being created as part of a pledge by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to significantly bolster the country’s defence spending. On Wednesday, Johnson announced a four-year funding plan worth 16.5 billion pounds ($21.8 billion) in the largest investment in the country’s defence infrastructure for three decades.
