The Conservatives have revealed plans to establish a centre to counter online attacks against the UK.
According to a Conservative policy paper on national security published on Friday, the party plans to create a Cyber Threat and Assessment Centre (CTAC) if elected.
The centre would act as a central reporting point for all cyberattacks that threaten national infrastructure, and would provide intelligence on the online threats facing the UK.
