techUK’s National Security Week 2024 #NatSec2024
This year’s submission will centre around the Strategic Priorities of the techUK National Security Committee, which was set up in March 2023. This week, we’ll explore some key themes around how the UK can strengthen national security through technology, what the current threat landscape looks like, and what future threats we could envisage.
Looking ahead in national security
James Patrick, Solutions Architect at Zaizi, spotlights a rising threat — the growing menace of supply chain attacks. Sophisticated strikes through trusted channels can endanger vital systems, but he argues that increased collaboration is vital to securing sensitive infrastructure against complex dangers.
“Securing our technology and the underlying supply chains requires a multifaceted, collaborative approach. This is crucial for protecting sensitive government data and operations,” says James.
