UK NACE
The UK National Authority for Counter-Eavesdropping
We provide technical security support for the UK government, UK armed forces, law enforcement and critical national infrastructure (CNI). We do this in 3 ways:
- identify and counter latest technical threats
- policy and advice (as the UK’s National Technical Authority (NTA) for technical security)
- operational work
Policy, advice and research
As one of the UK’s 3 NTAs, we lead the technical security profession across government. We:
- give expert advice to government partners
- develop the standards for government technical security
- provide training and mentoring to national and international partners
- carry out research and development of new threats and countermeasure technologies
To help protect the UK, we work closely with the 2 other NTAs: the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
