@sagegroupplc's security team is growing! We want to hear from you even if you don’t think you fit one of our adverts (skills or geographically).
We look for curiosity, enthusiasm and people who love being in a team. Everything else flows from that.

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
SCOOP: The man behind the massive leak of U.S. government secrets worked on a "military base," his friend says. An online group that received hundreds of classified documents included foreigners. washingtonpost.com/national-… By me and @samueloakford
Irrespective who gets it, some serious questions to be asked why, yet again, there is no credible internal field for the role
The search is on for one of the most senior roles in British intelligence.
A handful of in-the-knows told The Record of more than half a dozen people who are being tipped for the position.
Here's the UKIC version of football transfer gossip:

New year, new you? We've got brilliant opportunities in @sagegroupplc'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
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
Ben Aung - our EVP Chief Risk Officer - talks about why last week's #EmPowerCyber event in Newcastle was so important, watch below

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

Big moment for me. Thank you @Dominic2306 x
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
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
When I asked the Cabinet Office to do exactly this to identify leakers they said they couldn't do it - @elonmusk is conducting leak inquiries more competently than the UK govt with access to GCHQ can manage the same task
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!
Today we announce a strong set of FY22 #SageResults thanks to the commitment & dedication of our colleagues, customers & partners. I'm proud of the strategic progress we have made, creating a strong foundation to grow & scale Sage & deliver long-term value to all our stakeholders
This is fantastic news, removing a long overdue barrier to serve and should help the intelligence community recruit many more exceptional people
"The UK’s three intelligence agencies are seeking to broaden the pool of talent they can recruit from by accepting anyone who has British citizenship – regardless of where their parents are from".

Almost 10 years on, my handy desk guide (remember those?) still adding value…
This quoted post is unavailable.
Journalists pursuing the lack of publicity in the summer are barking up the wrong the tree - compromise of a senior minister’s comms, potentially by a hostile state, would always be tightly held and likely a national security matter (even if negligence involved)
Lots of questions around this - including what actually happened, using what technique and who might have been responsible? But also why the story was - apparently - kept quiet over the summer but emerged now.

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

Final day of another brilliant Cyber Security Week @sagegroupplc - agree with Sophia that we've save the best til last
This week we were all #SwitchedontoCyberSecurity at Sage. Sophia Adhami, Director of Cyber Security Engagement and Awareness, shares why she was excited this week. #CyberSecurityMatters #LifeAtSage
Ministers leak information all the time, it’s politics. However, four of them (Home Sec, Foreign Sec, Defence Sec and PM) are routinely entrusted with information where a breach of confidentiality would cause loss of life. The bar has to be much, much higher for them
"From my own knowledge, there were multiple breaches of the ministerial code."
Sacked Conservatives chairman Jake Berry addresses Home Secretary Suella Braverman's alleged security breach.

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)
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
