Leading on Cyber

We’re developing a coherent Cyber and Electromagnetic Domain for Defence, championing recruitment, training, and retention.

As an organisation we must adapt and evolve, exploiting digital technologies to best effect in both our business and battlespace.

Defence must fully realise the opportunities of the cyber and electromagnetic domain if we are to protect, engage, constrain and fight our adversaries.

Secure by Design is changing the MOD’s approach to cyber security with a shift to continual risk management. This is mandated for all new delivery programmes with a planned three-year transition for existing and legacy projects. This means that early cyber risk identification and resilience will be built-in from the outset, increasing speed and efficiency of delivering systems that are secure and modernising how assurance is delivered.
