Defence Secretary Ben Wallace today announced a new Cyber Regiment has been launched to protect frontline operations from digital attack as Defence continues its modernisation to combat threats. The Ministry of Defence has launched 13th Signal Regiment, the UK Armed Forces’ first dedicated Cyber Regiment, which will protect vital defence networks at home and on operations overseas. The specialist unit will provide the basis of the new Army Cyber Information Security Operations Centre, focusing on the protection of Defence’s cyber domain, and it will work with the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force to provide secure networks for all military communications.
