The U.K.'s top spy says the window to stay ahead of China and Russia is narrowing and cybersecurity needs to become '10 times more urgent' | Fortune
Russia is scaling up daily hybrid activity against the U.K. and Europe, targeting critical infrastructure, democratic processes, supply chains, and public trust from the seabed to cyberspace. China is described as a science and technology superpower with sophisticated capabilities across intelligence, cyber, and military agencies. Warfare is being reconfigured to be increasingly data-driven, AI-enabled, and automated, with examples spanning conflicts from Ukraine to Iran. The threat is linked to renewed adversary emboldenment and surveillance efforts. Recent espionage cases involve Chinese spying on dissidents and alleged recruitment attempts connected to China’s intelligence services. A narrowing window exists for the U.K. and allies to stay ahead.
"“Warfare is being reconfigured; increasingly data-driven, AI-enabled, and automated in conflicts from Ukraine to Iran,” she said, adding “China is now a science and tech superpower with sophisticated capabilities across their intelligence, cyber, and military agencies.”"
"“Russia is scaling up its daily hybrid activity against the U.K. and Europe, stretching from the seabed to cyberspace—relentlessly targeting critical infrastructure, democratic processes, supply chains and public trust,” she said."
"“Russia and China are amping up their espionage on Western nations, and there is a ‘narrowing window for the U.K. and allies to stay ahead,’” according to Britain's spy chief."
"“In the U.K. earlier this month, a border officer and a former Hong Kong trade official were found guilty of spying on dissidents for China in the first case of its kind. In the U.S., two Chinese nationals were charged last summer with allegedly working for China's intelligence agency, the Ministry of State Security, and for allegedly attempting to recruit spies from within the U.S. military.”"
