The Danish Government has re-launched the National CyberSecurity Council (NCSC) under the umbrella of a new mission to strengthen the country’s digital security capabilities across all critical areas of the economy and society. The NCSC’s more robust charter aims to enhance the agency’s role as a key adviser to the government on core technology developments and policy. As part of its upgraded role, the NCSC is tasked with identifying new methods to upscale digital security and the sharing of data between public authorities, the research world, and Denmark’s business and industry sectors.
The re-launch happens alongside two other recent significant state-led initiatives. These include the government’s €100m updated digitization strategy for 2024–2025 and the Agency for Digital Government’s (ADG) Artificial Intelligence Guideline (AIG) project that provides local authorities, private sector companies and citizens with expanded opportunities to test and work with generative AI (GenAI).
