📢 Just published by Manchester University Press, "Digital Ecologies: Mediating more-than-human worlds" is a digitalecologies edited collection exploring the world(s) of digital ecologies! I have a chapter on 'ecological computationality' manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526170347/

We are still searching for participants for this workshop to be held on the 30th - UK time, 2pm - 5pm (international participation is also welcome!).

Two interesting Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy cyber-related evidence sessions coming up on Monday, on ransomware and offensive cyber, evidence from: Kelly Butler (@marshmclennan), Sadie Creese, Jamie MacColl, ᴛɪᴍ ꜱᴛᴇᴠᴇɴꜱ and Andrew Dwyer committees.parliament.uk/event/23343/fo…

Britain's government risks its domestic and international standing as it refuses to either confirm or deny any details about a legal notice targeting Apple’s cryptographic protections for iCloud accounts, experts tell Recorded Future News therecord.media/apple-uk-back-…

On Monday, we're holding an evidence session to examine the Government's progress in tackling ransomware threats. We'll also explore whether the UK is making the most of its offensive cyber capabilities.

Today two of our steering committee members - Andrew Dwyer and ᴛɪᴍ ꜱᴛᴇᴠᴇɴꜱ - will be providing evidence to a session on 'Offensive Cyber' to the JCNSS.

I was just about to suggest people read Joe Devanny's substack on allied cyber operations (joedevanny.substack.com/p/allies-and-c…), which very much develops on the perspective I was (attempting, at least) to make at the sessions yesterday.

Very much looking forward to holding workshops on the future of offensive cyber - especially at a time of significant change. If you are interested, please email [email protected] to get the link to the registration form

📢 Earlier this month, Andrew Dwyer gave evidence to the UK Parliament's Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy (JCNSS) on offensive cyber - demonstrating the ISG's key work in providing expertise to policy in information and cyber security royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-e…

The Heathrow incident shows how important information - over cyber - security is for operational resilience. It’s about the whole ‘stack.’ I also think we need to reevaluate the UK flavour of ‘risk based’ governance that is consistently used to do the min on.ft.com/4bMPRAl

Our #CHI2025 paper is now on arXiv! For those who wish to consider HCI and security from a community-based perspective, where all actors in the 'digital by default' economy can be 'snipers' and ways of moving beyond threat models, this is for you! arxiv.org/abs/2503.16992

Sometimes academia can be a wild one - just been on Nick Ferrari's LBC radio show to discuss the extraordinary leak of information on Signal on the Yemen strikes. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

In Japan to present our paper, Friend or Foe? Navigating and Re-configuring "Snipers’ Alley" at #CHI2025. This is my first time here, so if you wish to discuss 'critical' approaches to (cyber) security and privacy, get in touch! programs.sigchi.org/chi/2025/progr… dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

In the increasing discussion of 'agentic' AI, I thought about this back a few years ago with relation to computation, war and conflict... taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-ed…

A quote from me in The Times and The Sunday Times yesterday. I was perhaps being somewhat provocative, but can a self-proclaimed technical authority (the UK NCSC) be also driving market and political change? thetimes.com/uk/technology-…

1/ UK has announced a new "Cyber and Electromagnetic Command". Temptation is to focus on offensive tasks. What MoD says is that it will "lead defensive cyber operations" for military networks and "coordinate" offensive ones with the National Cyber Force, which was set up in 2020.

I'm delighted that with colleagues - Co-Is Lizzie Coles-Kemp and Danilo Francati - that we have been successful in the first SALIENT funding call with our project, "Fake in the Community", bringing together geopolitics, socio-technical cyber security and cryptography
