The National Cyber Advisory Board (NCAB) is a forum for an inclusive and engaged national dialogue on cyber.
The Board brings together leaders from academia, industry and the third sector nationwide to support a whole of society approach to cyber. It allows the government to hear alternative viewpoints and harness networks from across the cyber ecosystem and beyond to support our cyber objectives.
The NCAB takes the widest view of cyber challenges and opportunities. It works closely with the Cyber Growth Partnership (which drives business growth in the UK cyber sector), the UK Cyber Security Council (which develops and promotes the profession), the Government Cyber Advisory Board which brings independent perspectives and input from experts across industry and academia into providing solutions to the challenges of Government cyber security, through rigorous challenge and driving best practices. NCAB also works with other relevant boards and organisations working to deliver our cyber commitments in government and the public sector.
The Board is co-chaired by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones MP, and Sharon Barber, former Chief Information Officer at Lloyds Banking Group.
At the most recent meeting on 22 April 2026, the Board discussed implementation of the forthcoming National Cyber Action Plan. The Board also reviewed the three areas that its members have focused their effort on over the past year:
