RUSSIA’S THREAT REACHES THE BOARDROOM
WHITEROCK NEWS
Friday Security Briefing | 9 October 2026 | WN261009
On 25 September, the UK Government announced plans for closed-door briefings on Russian threats for representatives of the defence and critical national infrastructure sectors.
The Government identified cyber attacks, sabotage and disinformation as tactics used by Russia and its proxies to disrupt organisations.
Whiterock comment: For heads of security, this is a prompt to examine how physical, personnel and cyber security work together. Confidential information also needs protection when it is spoken, displayed or physically accessible.
Who owns the gaps between those security responsibilities?
