"Sophisticated nation-state adversaries, like China, are working hard to steal the intellectual property held by some of our countries' most innovative and exciting startups," said MI5 director general Ken McCallum. "The Five Eyes Secure Innovation advice we're rolling out today forms part of our response." This highlights the targeted threat startups face from nation-state actors and the collective response from allied countries.

SMEs are highly vulnerable to cyber attacks, and are likely to fold if they become victims," noted Oz Alashe, CEO of CybSafe. This underscores the importance of cybersecurity awareness and preparedness in the startup ecosystem.
Secure Innovation is designed to support young, fast-growing tech companies and innovators in creating bespoke action plans that enable them to assess their projects' security levels," highlighting the initiative's focus on tailored solutions for diverse technological landscapes.
The NCSC stated that over 500 organisations have already taken advantage of this security guidance package, emphasizing its widespread impact and the urgent need for startups to prioritize cybersecurity in their operations.
