Evaluating the U.K.'s 'Active Cyber Defence' Program:
In November 2016, the U.K. government launched its Active Cyber Defence (ACD) program with the intention of tackling "in a relatively automated [and transparent] way, a significant proportion of the cyber attacks that hit the U.K." True to their word, a little over a year on, last week the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) published a full and frank account (over 60 pages long) of their progress to date. The report itself is full of technical implementation details.
