Minister delivers speech on security

Baroness Neville-Rolfe, minister of state at the Cabinet Office, has delivered the keynote speech at the International Government Security Conference 2023.

She pointed out that the world is currently facing enormous threats and the complexities of security are becoming more evident.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe particularly mentioned the war in Ukraine, conflict in Israel and Palestine, as well as cybercrime and fraud.

As well as criminals, she pointed out the threat from whole countries.

Outlining what the government is doing to counter the threats, Baroness Neville-Rolfe pointing out training for businesses and public services and the International Public Sector Fraud Forum.

She concluded: "It is clear that - in our interconnected world - our security is a shared responsibility.

"What we can achieve together is an all-round ecosystem of security built on our world-class foundations of education, expertise, technology and capability.

"Yes, our security needs are more complex than they used to be, but in the face of that complexity we must remain committed to collaboration.

"Collaboration on our shared security will help us overcome fraudsters, criminals, bandit states - and indeed anyone who wants to undermine the strength of our partnerships for their own gains."
