Could Early Warning from NCSC Help Your Defences Against Cyber Threats?

Published on April 2nd, 2026

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) offer a free Early Warning service to all UK organisations.

Early Warning is a free NCSC service that can give you a head start on potential cyber threats that they are aware of. Cybersecurity researchers may uncover malicious activity on the internet or discover weaknesses in organisations’ security controls and release this in information feeds.

The NCSC uses trusted information feeds, including some that are not available elsewhere, for Early Warning.

Depending on the information you provide when registering, NCSC will send you tailored alerts via email.

According to the 2025 Cyber Breaches Survey, 43% of businesses reported a cybersecurity breach or attack in the last 12 months. Cyber threats continue to endanger businesses of all sizes, and the advance alert provided by NCSC’s Early Warning service can provide an additional layer of defence.
