On 24 June 2025, the UK Government unveiled its new National Security Strategy (NSS), titled “Security for the British People in a Dangerous World”, setting out a comprehensive framework to address the global threats facing the country.
The strategy sets out a long-term vision built around three pillars:
- Security at home
- Strength abroad
- Sovereign capabilities
It reflects a shift in the UK’s posture amid growing global instability and commits to a “whole-of-UK approach”, uniting government, industry and society to strengthen national resilience.
Jon Gray, ADS Director for Security & Resilience said:
“We welcome the release of the Government’s National Security Strategy today. The strategy recognises industry’s centrality to our national security and offers a hard-edged assessment of how to secure our national interests.
This publication provides a clear strategic framework, but not a tactical plan of action. ADS will seek to work closely with government to ensure that the full contribution of the UK security and resilience sector is now harnessed to operationalise this strategy.”
