Helios is transforming how the UK identifies and responds to security threats at the border. Developed through close collaboration with the Home Office and Border Force, the programme has replaced a 30-year-old watchlisting capability with a modern, resilient platform that improves data sharing, accelerates decision-making and strengthens the protection of the UK’s national infrastructure.

As cyber threats evolve in scale, sophistication and speed, cybersecurity professionals are being asked to rethink how they approach resilience. The challenge is no longer simply about managing risk.

The protection of critical undersea infrastructure (CUI) has moved rapidly up the strategic agenda. With greater dependence on seabed cables for energy and communications, the vulnerability of these assets has become a significant concern.

In today’s increasingly volatile geopolitical climate, particularly with escalating global tensions such as ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, cyber warfare has evolved into a critical extension of traditional warfare.
