he north Wiltshire town of Corsham will be the UK's hub to tackle global cyber crime, the Ministry of Defence has indicated.
A new Cyber Security Operations Centre, or CSOC, will be staffed by experts who will utilise defensive cyber capabilities to protect the MoD's cyberspace from malicious hackers, defence minister Michael Fallon has announced.
Corsham, with its vast former Cold War 'underground city', is already the centre of the British military's secret communications centre. But the MoD needs to ramp up its resources in defending the nation – and the Government in particular – from hackers.
