Group Overview
Intellect’s Security and Resilience group is the industry forum for engagement on security, resilience, intelligence, counter terror and cyber threats ICT related issues.
The UK faces a wide range of threats and hazards, from terrorism to flooding to cyber warfare, which require coherent and cohesive responses that cut across silos. In crisis or in calm, the web of communications and information technology is the glue which enables Government, citizens and companies to work together effectively and meet national challenges.
The UK has been no stranger to both natural and man-made incidents in recent years, and these high profile events have focused attention on ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, minimise the impact of natural disasters, and secure the UK’s infrastructure and borders. Across the various market sectors within security and resilience, the technology industry’s wealth of relevant capability is helping Government, private sector infrastructure providers, international allies and citizens to fully exploit the UK’s information and communications assets.
Intellect’s Security & Resilience programme engages with stakeholders across all of these different areas. In each, our members can offer valuable contributions to strategic, operational and tactical level work, as well as an effective dialogue on market conditions and specific projects.
Group Focus
Informed market
A well-informed industry base is vital to delivering the right capabilities to agencies and actors, and ensuring companies can build the relationships and capabilities needed to meet requirements efficiently. Intellect’s work improves suppliers’ visibility of projects and markets so that members’ investments in R&D, their policy contributions, and their strategies can be aligned to national and customer needs.
Information exploitation
Effective use of the UK’s vast information assets is key to meeting security & resilience challenges domestically and internationally. From border protection to cybersecurity to crisis response, Intellect channels industry’s expertise so that policymakers can understand how to use ICT appropriately and securely to ensure cohesion, interoperability and the sharing of vital knowledge.
Cross-cutting technology
The security & resilience markets share many vital technologies with other areas, including identity management, defence, financial services and healthcare, and also with other countries facing similar challenges around the world. Whether for specific projects or ongoing needs, our programme helps Government, customers and industry understand the different innovations and companies in the marketplace, and the links between approaches in other areas and the security & resilience market.

- Intellect's security and resilience position paper is a key piece of thought leadership, laying out the technology industry’s agenda, the role of technology in security and resilience and Intellect's blueprint for future policy development.
- Industry map
- Intellect, the trade association representing the UK technology industry, has developed a comprehensive online map of the various industry capabilities which contribute to security and resilience.
