Special Bulletin – Ukraine/Russia Conflict – Cyber Security Briefing

Special Bulletin: Cyber Security

The risk to the UK posed by the current situation between Russia and Ukraine may not follow the traditional route of previous conflicts. Whilst there is a very real physical threat to those near the Ukrainian/Russian border, as well as neighbouring countries (such as Poland) being poised for potential clashes, the risk to other leading NATO countries may come in a different format.

Protect Duty – A Summarised Overview

What is Protect Duty and what is currently known?

In the public inquiry into the Manchester Arena Bombing (which took place during a concert on 22nd May 2017 and resulted in 23 fatalities) the Hon Sir John Saunders, Chairman of the Inquiry, stated it was their belief that it would be “… reasonable for publicly accessible venues able to hold gatherings of 100 persons or more to carry out an assessment of threats and implement appropriate mitigating measures at their premises.”.

What is the new legislation likely to address?

It is not possible to state exactly what form the Protect Duty will take as the legislation has not yet been defined, however, the Home Office have stated the Protect Duty will impose a legal requirement for owners and operators of public spaces to be prepared for terrorist attacks.

Special Bulletin Liverpool Women’s Hospital Incident And Increase To UK Terror Threat Level

Change to the UK Terror Threat Level

The incident outside the Liverpool Women’s Crown Street Hospital on November 14th 2021 has been declared as a terrorist incident by Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon, the Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism. It should also be noted that this is the second terrorist incident in mainland UK within a month, the first of which being the killing of MP Sir David Amess at a constituency surgery in Essex on 15th October 2021.

These attacks have been instrumental in the UK’s terror threat level being raised by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) from “substantial” to “severe”. This change indicated that an attack in the UK is now judged to be “highly likely”, rather than “likely”.
