Today, NCSC and members of the Five Eyes intelligence partnership jointly launched Secure Innovation, a shared security advice campaign to help protect emerging technology companies from a range of threats, particularly those from nation-state actors. “The Five Eyes partners face unprecedented threats to our emerging tech ecosystems. So, today we’re arming tech firms across our nations with guidance on how to secure the innovation so critical to our future,” said Mike Casey, Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC). “This guidance is designed to help tech startups protect their innovation, reputation, and growth, while also helping tech investors fortify their portfolio companies against security risks.” Secure Innovation provides the tech sector with a set of cost-effective measures that companies can take from day one to better protect their innovation. Whether it’s vetting prospective investors, setting up IT architecture, choosing suppliers, hiring staff, expanding into new markets, or traveling abroad, all these steps come with vulnerabilities threat actors can exploit. Businesses in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand can take advantage of Secure Innovation resources, guidance, and products now available across all Five Eyes countries. This means companies can benefit from consistent and consolidated advice reflecting the interconnected tech startup ecosystem and the global nature of the threats they face.
