As Russia and China ramp up broad espionage campaigns directed at Western nations, Britain\u2019s intelligence chief warned Wednesday that the window for the U.K. and its allies to get ahead is narrowing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anne Keast\u2011Butler, director of the U.K.\u2019s signals and cyber agency GCHQ, delivered an unusually public address at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire \u2014 the Allied code\u2011breaking center during World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said adversaries armed with new tools are renewing their threats to the West. Advances in AI and other technologies are reshaping how wars are fought.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Ukraine to Iran, modern warfare is becoming more data\u2011driven and AI\u2011enabled,\u201d Keast\u2011Butler said. \u201cChina has become a science and technology superpower with sophisticated capabilities across its intelligence, cyber and military apparatus.\u201d She also warned that Russia has stepped up its overseas aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keast\u2011Butler said Russia has broadened routine \u201chybrid attacks\u201d against the U.K. and Europe \u2014 from undersea activity to operations in cyberspace \u2014 and is persistently targeting critical infrastructure, democratic processes, supply chains and public trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her remarks marked the 80th anniversary of the 1946 Anglo\u2011American signals intelligence agreement that laid the groundwork for the Five Eyes alliance \u2014 the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The speech came as surveillance and intelligence\u2011gathering by China and Russia have grown bolder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, British courts secured convictions in the U.K.\u2019s first known case of agents spying for China: a border guard and a former Hong Kong trade official were found guilty of surveilling dissidents on Beijing\u2019s behalf. In the U.S., prosecutors last summer charged two Chinese nationals accused of working for the Ministry of State Security and attempting to recruit spies within the U.S. military.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. intelligence officials say China and Russia have significantly expanded surveillance infrastructure in Cuba to monitor the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported that personnel on the island have roughly tripled since 2023. In response, the Trump administration last week increased pressure on Havana, indicting 94\u2011year\u2011old revolutionary leader Ra\u00fal Castro on charges that include conspiring to kill Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keast\u2011Butler urged companies and individuals to raise the urgency of their cybersecurity posture \u201cat least tenfold.\u201d At the government level, she said the U.K. must reinforce ties with allies and pursue new partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n

To ordinary citizens she recommended immediate action, including moving away from traditional passwords and adopting passkeys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keast\u2011Butler pushed back against blanket bans on foreign IT infrastructure. While some countries have taken that approach, she argued it is not effective. Instead, she called for backing domestic tech firms, encouraging strong encryption and protecting supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we manage supply chains, dependencies and data carefully, national sovereignty doesn\u2019t mean everything must be \u2018made in the U.K.,\u2019\u201d she concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n
