Building the Next Generation of Police CyberAlarm with the NPCC
Alongside the National Police Chiefs’ Council, we modernised and relaunched the Police CyberAlarm (PCA) platform, marking a significant step forward in the UK’s efforts to tackle cybercrime and protect organisations from digital threats.
The system, which is available free of charge to all organisations in the UK, introduces a more user-friendly experience, enabling organisations to quickly register and once onboarded, choose their levels of protection.
Members can now sign up for IP Address Scanning to help identify vulnerabilities across internet-facing systems and Website URL Scanning to detect weaknesses in public-facing websites. It also offers an improved portal with better reporting, insights, and streamlined member management.
Further capabilities, including the CyberAlarm Secure Sensor have been introduced, which will provide an additional layer of protection by offering greater visibility of suspicious network activity while also helping to strengthen the national picture of cyber threats.
Nick Bell, Police CyberAlarm Lead, said: “This is a significant milestone for Police CyberAlarm. We are now live with a modern new platform that makes it easier for organisations to access fully funded cyber protection. This is the start of the next generation of PCA, with further capability to follow shortly.”
Deputy Commissioner at the City of London Police and NPCC Economic Crime Portfolio lead Nick Adams, said: “The launch of the new Police CyberAlarm platform marks a significant step forward in our collective efforts to tackle cyber crime and better protect organisations from evolving digital threats. By providing early identification of suspicious cyber activity and introducing a more user-friendly system, this platform makes it easier than ever for organisations to register and access fully funded cyber security support."
