The British Army has created its first dedicated cyber regiment to protect frontline operations from digital attacks and breaches.
The 13th Signal Regiment will be responsible for providing defence networks at home and on operations overseas, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.

The unit will be responsible for creating 'digital armour' around armed forces personnel, allowing commanders and their soldiers to operate online securely.
The specialist unit will have its headquarters in Blandford, Dorset having been officially stood up on June 1.
The MoD said the introduction of the regiment comes as a new front line opens up in cyberspace alongside the traditional areas of land, sea and air.
