The UK’s Government Digital Service (GDS) has long been responsible for securing public‑sector digital systems — everything from GOV.UK to inter‑departmental data sharing. By 2025/26, it announced plans to integrate AI‑driven analytics into national cybersecurity monitoring and risk management. The ambition is to move from isolated departmental responses to a holistic national threat overview— where AI recognises emerging patterns, flagging […]

Many legal scholars, digital‑rights campaigners and even some MPs now argue yes — the UK government has crossed the line between legitimate governance and systemic intrusion into private life. The excuse used is often security or efficiency, but the effect is a government that increasingly trades people’s privacy for state convenience and corporate profit. In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), data

Major cyber incidents that crippled Marks & Spencer (M&S) and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) last year have jolted British boardrooms into recognising the true cost of digital threats. Yet, despite heightened awareness, many UK firms remain dangerously exposed, according to new research from Vodafone Business. Growing Concern Among Business Leaders The telecoms group surveyed 1,000 senior executives from organisations of all sizes

Overview The United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) has announced new plans to collaborate more closely with its suppliers to enhance cybersecurity resilience across the healthcare and social care sectors. This initiative was set out in an open letter issued on 22 January, which aims to address the growing cybersecurity challenges facing the NHS and

The Numbers Game: When Statistics Tell Uncomfortable Truths The Morgan Stanley report revealing that Britain leads the pack in AI-driven job losses should surprise absolutely no one who’s been paying attention to how British businesses operate. An 8% net job loss – double the international average – isn’t a bug in the system, it’s a

The Home Secretary has announced she’s throwing £140 million at some shiny new tech toys, hoping they’ll magically fix what she’s calling Britain’s “broken” policing system – because apparently the solution to everything these days is more surveillance and fewer actual police on the beat. Shabana Mahmood reckons her AI gadgets will free up six

Low-level, politically driven cyber attackers targeting Britain’s networks are achieving little more than digital vandalism. A spate of cyber-attacks aimed at critical national infrastructure and local government systems across the UK has revealed a frustrating reality: these so-called hackers are hardly sophisticated cyber masterminds. They are low-level, technically inept troublemakers bent on disruption rather than infiltration. Their preferred method, the Denial of

Keir Starmer’s government has waved through plans for a massive new Chinese “super embassy” in central London — and it’s hard to imagine a more dangerously naïve move. Despite repeated warnings from MI5 that it’s “unrealistic to eliminate every potential risk,” Labour’s top brass have decided Beijing can build a sprawling base right in the capital’s heart.

The British Army’s cyber warriors are to benefit from modern accommodation and specialist training facilities following a £279 million investment announced yesterday for the Duke of Gloucester Barracks in Gloucestershire. The huge project will deliver new infrastructure for the 13 Signal Regiment, which conducts the Army’s defensive cyber operations. Construction is due to begin next year and is expected to be

Allowing a huge Chinese Embassy in the heart of London is insane by itself, but now it has been reported that there is a ‘secret chamber’ right next to the fibre optic cables for the city.  The city cables are among some of Britain’s most sensitive and could soon neighbour a network of 208 secret
