Security Market Drivers

National Security remains a top priority of the UK Government, with the security of the nation, its people and its assets having never faced such a diverse range of threats.

No longer is security simply the remit of the armed forces. The UK now recognises the dangers posed and the measures required to address them, capturing them in the likes of the UK National Security Strategy and UK Cyber Security Strategy.

This section provides further details about the key pillars of the UK's national security plans, and the way in which VEGA is working at the heart of government and industry to provide strategic advice and technological expertise in the following areas:

  • UK National Security Strategy
    The UK National Security Strategy considers the security challenges posed by a full remit of threats facing the UK. VEGA works alongside the emergency services, intelligence agencies, and the entire UK security community to enhance interoperability and secure data sharing, enabling front-line services to respond promptly and effectively to any identified security risk.
  • UK Cyber Security Strategy
    The 2011 UK Cyber Security Strategy articulates the cyber security challenges facing the UK. Its objective is to create an environment in which the UK can "derive huge economic and social value from a vibrant, resilient and secure cyberspace, where our actions, guided by our core values of liberty, fairness, transparency and the rule of law, enhance prosperity, national security and a strong society." VEGA is a leading UK supplier of independent information assurance and cyber security services. The company provides trusted advice to help protect, detect and respond to the most persistent cyber attacks.
