British Intelligence Community

The British Intelligence Community comprises agencies responsible for national security, foreign intelligence, and counterterrorism. Key organizations include MI5, which protects the UK from internal threats; MI6 (SIS), handling overseas intelligence gathering; and GCHQ, focusing on signals intelligence and cybersecurity. Together, they work to detect threats, gather information, and support government decisions to keep the country safe. These agencies operate with strict confidentiality and collaborate with allies globally, maintaining a balance between security, privacy, and international diplomacy.
