The joint security guidance issued by the Five Eyes member countries Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S. seeks to provide the tech sector with recommendations to help startups safeguard their ideas, reputation and future success.
Businesses across all Five Eyes countries can use a set of Secure Innovation resources and related products to safeguard their organizations amid the evolving security threat landscape.
Downloadable resources include documents containing security advice for emerging tech companies and investors, scenarios and mitigating actions, and due diligence guidance.
“The Five Eyes partners face unprecedented threats to our emerging tech ecosystems. So, today we’re arming tech firms across our nations with guidance on how to secure the innovation so critical to our future,” said Mike Casey, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
“This guidance is designed to help tech startups protect their innovation, reputation, and growth, while also helping tech investors fortify their portfolio companies against security risks,” Casey added.
