The UK Cyber Security Council has been created as an independent, self-regulatory body for cybersecurity education and skills. Commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) It will serve as a single governing voice for the industry to establish the knowledge, skills and experience required for a range of cybersecurity jobs. The Council was conceived in late 2018 within the UK Government’s Initial National Cyber Security Skills Strategy policy paper, which called for a new body to professionalise the cybersecurity skills sector.
