<p>We aim, through our Personnel Security Strategy, to continuously build a security
conscious organisation where staff understand the spectrum of evolving threats, including
the potential to be targeted for recruitment by hostile states using online recruitment
platforms. We take our responsibilities in this area seriously, and leverage a variety
of methods to keep the Department and its people safe, and to fulfil our mission to
safeguard national security. These include delivering security training, maintaining
a strong internal security culture, recognising signs of people risk through comprehensive
oversight, and delivering a range of support and guidance to staff to keep them aware
of the latest threats. Moreover, the Department makes use of specific cross-HMG programmes
such as 'Think Before You link' https://www.cpni.gov.uk/security-campaigns/think-you-link
and has introduced a Cyber Confident programme to improve awareness of the Cyber threat,
to help personnel spot potential targeting from hostile states and act appropriately
if this occurs.</p>
