    MoD Continued its Cyber Security Agreement with BT

     

    Together with BT, the MoD or the Ministry of Defence has assured to extend its cyber cyber security agreement. The contract’s value could not be disclosed for security reasons however that work had already started in the 7-year settlement with the Mod, BT said. BT will provide and mix new capabilities that are planned to restrain, respond to and catch up from any offensive or attempted corruption.

    More than double the number found in the year 2009, the MoD identified and hindered over 1,000 probable serious attempts to penetrate or disturb its computer systems in 2010. The developing threat from cyber attacks signifies that they are longing for a consistent improvements in the Mods defence efficiency, said by the head of the service operations at the MoD, Air Commodore Tim Bishop.

    He said that their forces rely on the computer networks of the United Kingdom and on operations all over the globe. It is critical that they seek for consistent improvements of their defence mechanisms to solve those threats, as they have seen a serious growth in the number of threats in the United Kingdom’s national security by means of cyberspace over the last five years.

    He also added that BT has already provided a world-leading solution, therefore it make sense to improve their partnership more. On the other side, in April there was more uncertainty than ever of data being mixed up said by captain Simon Wise, deputy head of service operations at the MoD. At the same time, Liam Fox, the defence secretary said that the MoD encountered a constant struggle in cyberspace last year. The extension will create its working relationship with the government to support in providing the UK National Cyber Security Strategy that has declared in 2009, BT said.
