New national CSIRTs to protect an island community and leading international finance centre.
Following the Government of Jersey's 2017 Cyber Security Strategy, we're building a new capability to prepare, protect and defend the island from cyber threats: Jersey Cyber Security Centre. As of 2025, we're building an equivalent capability in Guernsey - Guernsey Cyber Security Centre.
Two independent jurisdictions with distinctive cultures and histories, Jersey and Guernsey have a population of just over 160,000 between them, and operate its own critical infrastructure, as well as hosting a significant finance industry, digital, tourism and agriculture.
