BT has now blocked over a billion clicks to malicious websites, says NCSC | Computer Weekly

"The NCSC's Share and Defend programme protects 46 million mobile phone users and 12 million fixed line internet subscribers from websites that could deliver malicious code, malware or phishing attacks."

"Share and Defend provides telcos with alerts from threat feeds, some of which are private to the NCSC, with others provided by businesses, and the Cyber Defence Alliance."

"Organisations signed up to the programme are able to prevent their customers accessing malicious content, but can choose which sites to block based on their own risk analysis."

BT and EE have successfully blocked over a billion clicks to malicious websites, protecting millions of users from cyber threats. The NCSC's Share and Defend programme, launched last year, provides telecom companies with alerts about malicious websites, enabling them to prevent access to severe risks. This programme is claimed to be the most extensive globally and includes partnerships with various telecom and broadband companies. The NCSC is actively seeking to expand the programme's coverage by engaging with additional partners.
