UK Cyber Security Community

The cyber security (or information assurance) community in the UK is diverse, with many stakeholders groups contributing to support the UK Cyber Security Strategy. The following is a list of some of these stakeholders.

ADS is a trade organisation for companies operating in the UK aerospace, defence, security and space industries.

The CDF promotes the global interests of the UK crypto development industry.

The Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) works across industry, government and academia towards ensuring the UK’s information society has a robust, resilient and secure foundation. The IAAC was set up by Baroness Neville-Jones who chaired the organisation until 2007, handing over to the current chairman Sir Edmund Burton. Affiliates include BT Group, Northrop Grumman, QinetiQ, Raytheon, PwC, O2 UK, Ultra Electronics and GlaxoSmithKline. The 2012/13 work programme focused on consumerisation and its effects on information assurance.

The IACG was formed following the UK's national IA conference in 2006. The IACG encourages greater collaboration between the commercial supply base for information assurance products and services operating within the UK public sector. Stakeholders include CESG, BIS, the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance (OCSIA), Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC), and the CPNI. The group maintains the UK information assurance community map, hosted on the CESG's web site. It has two co-chairs: Colin Robbins of Nexor and Ross Parsell of Thales. The IACG ceased operation in 2014.
