The head of Britain’s signals intelligence agency GCHQ, Anne Keast-Butler, is set to warn that Russian cyber activity aimed at the UK and Europe is “relentless.” She says the pace of technological change is reducing the time available for the UK and its allies to anticipate threats and stay ahead. Keast-Butler is expected to urge businesses and members of the public to improve cyber security measures, arguing that protection is needed across the whole society. The warning emphasizes that cyber defence requires participation beyond government agencies, including organisational leadership and everyday users. The announcement frames Russian cyber attacks as an ongoing challenge rather than a temporary spike, and highlights the need for continued investment, planning, and better practices to reduce vulnerability. The message is directed at both corporate decision-makers and individuals, encouraging practical steps to strengthen resilience against cyber intrusions and disruption.
