24 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review know that any benefits they may seek to gain by attacking the UK will be outweighed by the consequences for them. 4.7 We will use the full spectrum of our capabilities – armed force including, ultimately, our nuclear deterrent, diplomacy, law enforcement, economic policy, offensive cyber, and covert means – to deter adversaries and to deny them opportunities to attack us. We will use these to ensure that there are consequences for those who threaten our security. We will build our resilience to reduce our vulnerabilities. 4.8 We will uphold and strengthen the rules-based international order to ensure that those who transgress international law and agreed standards of behaviour are held to account, including through the use of economic sanctions. If our adversaries reject or operate outside these bounds, we will act decisively, and use our influence, including through our membership of international organisations, to persuade others to take a similarly tough stance. 4.9 We will use our world-class security and intelligence agencies, technological advantage, diplomats and law enforcement to enable us to stay ahead of our adversaries and to frustrate their goals. We will increase funding for the security and intelligence agencies to enable £2.5 billion of additional investment in staff and capabilities. More than half of this investment will be on counter-terrorism. We will recruit and train over 1,900 additional security and intelligence staff across the agencies to respond to, and deter those behind, the increasing international terrorist, cyber and other global threats. 4.10 We will treat a cyber attack on the UK as seriously as we would do an equivalent conventional attack, and we will defend ourselves as necessary. 4.11 We are strengthening our Armed Forces so that they remain the most capable in Europe, are able to project our power globally, and fight and work alongside our close allies to deter or defeat our adversaries. We remain ready and willing to use armed force when necessary to protect our national interests. 4.12 The collective defence and cooperative security provided by our membership of NATO further enhances the credibility of our deterrence. We will also work with our key allies across the world to multiply the effects of our own determined approach and increase our collective security. In NATO, we will lead a renewed focus on deterrence to address current and future threats, and to ensure that our potential adversaries are in no doubt about the range of responses they should expect to any aggressive action on their part. Our sovereignty 4.13 We will use all of our capabilities to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity, and our Armed Forces are ready to use force when required. We are also protected through our membership of NATO. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an armed attack against one state shall be considered an attack on all. 4.14 There is currently no immediate direct military threat to the UK mainland. But, with increasing frequency, our responses are tested by aircraft, including Russian aircraft, near our airspace, and maritime activity near our territorial waters. The Royal Air Force protects our airspace and is ready at all times to intercept rogue aircraft. The Royal Navy protects our waters, and deters terrorist and criminal activity. Our NATO Allies provide us with early warning of approaching ships and aircraft, or deal with them before they reach our territory or airspace, as we do for our Allies. Our investment in Maritime Patrol Aircraft will significantly improve our ability to maintain our maritime security.
