Introduction

I’ve been around a bit now, I started ‘playing’ with technology very young as a kid! Wolf 3D/Doom era etc (ok even before that but whatever) …

In my professional career I’ve worked with literally hundreds of companies, from mega to small, from household names that sell games consoles through to orgs that sell you yummy food! I’ve worked across loads of industries from government through to manufacturing. I’ve dealt with major incidents for the finance sector, healthcare but also, I’ve been inside a range of networks for some time.

Imagine having an industry where you can’t be in it without already being an expert in all fields, imagine having to be able to command policy and drive strategy but not having anyone having ever helped you learn how to do this, imagine that if you did all the activities involved with secure service and yet people say you aren’t part of the industry because your job title doesn’t have the word “security” in it and imagine if that you are told you aren’t part of the cyber security industry because you also have to worry about budgets, sales, marketing, new business initiatives, IT services and well anything else!

What would happen if we had this as our cyber security industry principles… well that’s simple?
