ACD – The Fifth Year

The aim of Active Cyber Defence (ACD) is to “Protect the majority of people in the UK from the majority of the harm caused by the majority of the cyber attacks the majority of the time.” It was launched in 2017 and continues to protect the UK, in a relatively automated way, from a significant proportion of commodity cyber attacks.

Both the full report of the key findings from the fifth year of the NCSC’s ACD programme and a summary report of the findings can be found in the Downloads section of this page.

We are keen to find out what you thought of the report and the key findings. Please complete this short survey to help us improve the content of future ACD reports.
