HPC Support Apprentice

Atos has secured a six-year contract worth up to £350 million with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), with the option to extend for two additional years. The agreement will see Atos deliver service management, application management, and application security services to support the MPS's digital infrastructure. The contract includes the potential for expansion into managed cloud and digital workplace services. Atos will maintain key business applications across the MPS technology estate, following ITIL best practices to ensure high availability and security. Jamie Hewitt, director of Digital Product Delivery at MPS, said the collaboration will provide a stable digital foundation supporting frontline policing. The partnership builds on Atos's long-standing relationship with the Metropolitan Police Service, one of the UK's most critical public sector organisations.

Atos has partnered with Gulf Cyberfender Hub to launch an AI-driven Security Operations Center in Dubai. The facility will provide sovereign security operations with local data residency, supporting UAE organisations in strengthening cyber resilience and complying with national electronic security requirements. The SOC will serve government entities, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises, offering locally operated monitoring, detection, and incident response capabilities. It uses advanced analytics, automation, and agentic AI to reduce mean time to detect and respond to threats. The centre will collaborate with Atos' Global Threat Research Center to deliver threat intelligence tailored to the regional landscape. The opening aligns with the UAE's national cyber resilience priorities and digital sovereignty objectives.

Atos has launched Atos Sovereign Cloud, a next-generation application platform designed for governments, defence organisations, healthcare providers, and critical infrastructure operators. The cloud service combines enterprise capabilities with sovereign controls for data management, operational independence, and cyber resilience. Designed and engineered in the EU, the platform addresses growing demand for sovereign IT services amid stricter regional regulations. Gartner predicts over 50% of multinational organisations will have digital sovereign strategies by 2029, up from less than 10% today. The platform leverages Atos' expertise in cloud transformation, cybersecurity, and AI infrastructure. It enables organisations to modernise mission-critical applications whilst maintaining control over data, operations, and IT supply chains. The service forms part of Atos Group's integrated digital sovereignty strategy.
