## Notice

Recorded Future is the platform that is currently utilised to provide threat intelligence data and vulnerability management to the Security department. The current licence for recorded future is due to expire in October 2024 and we would like to extend the licence for a further 12 months until October 2025. This platform provides functionality for multiple teams and enables them to report on threat data as well as use it for proactive intelligence gathering. This then enables the SLC to be best protected as we are informed and educated on current threats, giving us the opportunity to be proactive and defend against a wide variety to cyber security adversaries.
