Operational challenges mean that the Defence and Security Services increasingly need access to accurate, timely and appropriate information to support decision making. With a secure, common information source you can eliminate duplication and improve intra-departmental collaboration. You can also safely share information, use resources more efficiently and cost-effectively and make better and quicker decisions.

As technology evolves through digitisation of the battlefield and Network Enabled Capability (NEC), information will need to be accurately managed, protected and exploited to gain full situational awareness.

At BT we use the experience gathered addressing our own infrastructure and Computer Network Defence (CND) requirements to develop, alongside our partners, an integrated, adaptable risk management toolset to help effectively manage information and organisational risk. We have one of the world’s largest dedicated security and business continuity practices and unrivalled experience in delivering managed asset tracking solutions. BT infrastructure powers 1,400 trading floors across 51 countries with over 60,000 users and we operate one of the largest IP networks in the world.

BT works alongside the MOD to deliver the Defence Fixed Telecommunications Service (DFTS), a long-term Private Finance Initiative (PFI) which has transformed the MoD’s communications and saved an estimated £700m.
