National Security Strategy (United Kingdom)

The British government's current National Security Strategy was published in October 2010, entitled "A Strong Britain in an Age of Uncertainty".[1] It outlines threats facing Britain, and defences against these threats. It emphasises the risks posed by terrorism, cyberwarfare, international military crises, and natural disasters.

A previous national security strategy, 'The National Security Strategy of the United Kingdom: Security in an interdependent world, was released by the Cabinet Office in March 2008. This was updated in 2009, under the heading 'Security for the Next Generation'[2].

As part of the National Security Strategy, the government promised to publish a National Risk Register, which was released in August 2008.
