“With the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, it is essential that organisations maintain a knowledge of cutting-edge cybersecurity. We have equipped soldiers with the necessary skills to counter nation-state threats, and this previous experience, insight, and expertise has contributed to our success. From very early conversations with Foresight, we realised that we were aligned in driving the issue of cyber security forward.”
