Established in 1909, MI6 operates covertly worldwide, focusing on counterterrorism, counterproliferation, and combating global threats like cyberattacks and organized crime. Headquartered in London, its iconic Vauxhall Cross building is synonymous with espionage. MI6 collaborates closely with domestic agencies like MI5 and international partners, including the CIA. Known for its secretive operations and elite agents, often romanticized in popular culture through figures like James Bond, MI6 remains a cornerstone of Britain’s defense, adapting to evolving geopolitical challenges.
