Daily Mail: MI6 must partner with tech giants to keep foreign adversaries at bay – even if it means stepping out of the shadows to do it, secret service boss says in first public speech 

* The MI6 chief Richard Moore is due to make rare public address in London today 

* He says tech advances mean agency can no longer devise own solution to threat 

* In a 'cultural sea change', Mr Moore says MI6 must 'be more open to stay secret' 

Britain's intelligence agencies must be prepared to work with tech giants to develop world-class technologies that will keep foreign adversaries at bay, the chief of MI6 is warning. 

Richard Moore says the pace of technological advance, from artificial intelligence to quantum computing, means the agencies can no longer simply devise their own solutions to meet the challenges. 

In a rare public address, he will acknowledge this has meant a 'sea change' in the culture of his organization which has traditionally prioritized secrecy above all else.
