I tried this to catch leakers in government - it didn’t work for the reasons Kim states below. Frustratingly, on a couple of occasions journalists ‘recreated’ the docs (with classifications etc) but without the telltale signs/spacing

Reminiscent of the Alistair Carmichael / Nicola Sturgeon memo investigation, where Carmichael’s Spad leaked to the Telegraph with his explicit permission (although both were sacked)

Final day of another brilliant Cyber Security Week Sage - agree with Sophia that we've save the best til last

Many security officials have experienced glazed over eyes or outright rudeness from ministers and spads when trying to explain risks around personal phones/email. It’s an open goal for our adversaries dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

This is fantastic news, removing a long overdue barrier to serve and should help the intelligence community recruit many more exceptional people

Really excellent FY22 #SageResults - super proud of everything the teams achieved over the year, supporting our #SMB customers, acquisitions and product launches. Game on for FY23!

Utter nonsense. Almost all leaks are political and from verbal conversations between lobby journalists and spads/ministers. The idea you’d focus your finite national security capabilities on political infighting is laughable, not least as it’s probably illegal anyway

Only a tiny proportion of officials interact with ministers and most are resilient and used to robust feedback. It’s so unusual for a complaint to emerge (due to acute power asymmetry) that when one does, it’s serious. Whatever the report says the reality likely multiples worse

Big moment for me. Thank you Dominic Cummings x

This is so sad to hear. As Ciaran says, Alison was the first GCHQ leader to ‘get it’ and find a way to not just de-risk GDS/digital government, but to become a vital and valued partner of it. Many of us did our best work with Alison and she unlocked doors we take for granted now

Last week, we gave 1300 year 8 girls in Newcastle and Gloucester a full day of cyber security activities and experiences. Their enthusiasm and brilliance was infectious (oh for a young mind!). If only a fraction of them end up in cyber, the future will be bright #EmPowerCyber2022

New year, new you? We've got brilliant opportunities in Sage's global security team incl. AppSec, Engineering and SOC roles It's a team doing exciting work, which values collective success and personal growth - take a look lnkd.in/e4-pzyve

Irrespective who gets it, some serious questions to be asked why, yet again, there is no credible internal field for the role

Two things strike me about this: - brings home just how many people in the US system have TS clearances and access, an unmanageable number - the ability of someone to just retype classified docs and circumvent $millions of controls, I'm not sure how this risk is managed
