The UK Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC) announced plans to expand its operations to the United States in 2027, one year after its UK-focused launch. The CMC, a UK-based nonprofit established in February 2025, assesses the economic and financial impact of major cyber incidents using a proprietary 0–5 severity scale modeled after physical event scales such as the Richter or Saffir-Simpson scales. The expansion aims to replicate the UK model in the US, where the CMC will establish a technical committee and legal entity, with incubation expected to adapt the methodology to the US economy before full operation.
