LONDON: Britain's new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) invited private sector companies to train and collaborate with it on cyber defence, as the Queen formally opened its London hub on Feb 14. 

The NCSC started last October and is moving into a new operations centre in Victoria, central London. The "NCSC Industry 100" initiative will look to embed people from industry to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and develop advice to combat cyberattacks.
