Enhancing our National Security

Harnessing digital technologies to provide better insights and intelligence

Addressing changing national security challenges

National security threats are evolving rapidly; but the capabilities needed to deal with them are often distributed across government and the private and third sectors — and may even be provided by international partners.

The ability to use and share data at scale and pace, and across organisational boundaries, is critical to orchestration; but has traditionally been hampered by siloed IT systems and disconnected data repositories.

UKCloudX provides multi cloud services where public and private sector stakeholders can pool and integrate their data in a single location to:

  • Generate new insights through effective information-sharing and collaboration
  • Build collective capabilities to address national security threats
  • Develop and reinforce security, trade and development partnerships
