MI6 Chief Richard Moore speaks at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, London, where he said that Britain's intelligence agencies must open up to co-operation with the global tech sector if they are to counter the rising cyber threats from hostile states, criminals and terrorists, November 30, 2021. He said the intelligence agency would need to shift from keeping everything in-house, to working with private technology companies if it was to compete with the rapid advances of other nations.

He said he was issuing a rare public briefing on the secretive spy agency's priorities because, given rapidly developing technology around the world, 'to stay secret, we are going to have to become more open.' Moore is the only publicly identified member of MI6. Richard Moore listed Russia, Iran, and foreign terrorism as other top security concerns. London - The head of Britain's MI6 spy agency, akin to the CIA in the U.S., said in his first public speech and live interview this week that China was the 'single greatest priority' for U.K.
