The UK Cyber Security Council announced itself to the public realm last week by touting a domain it doesn t own. Helpfully, internet jokesters then bought up variations on the official address.
A brainchild of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the UK Cyber Security Council is billed by government as the regulatory body, and voice, for UK cyber security education, training and skills. As part of that it drives progress towards meeting the key challenges the profession faces.
All very worthy and important. When British infosec folk noticed that the official press release mentioned an email address for ukcybersecurity[.]org[.]uk, however, everything started unravelling.
The return to the workplace is a focal point for many in the built environment but one of the most important elements is easy to overlook. Guest services will be vital in the return to the workplace. Front-of-house teams will be responsible for welcoming building users back and reassuring them as they negotiate shared spaces in the post-Covid era.
The workplace will inevitably look different after Covid. We have become more aware of our spaces, how clean they are, and what spaces building users share. Employees have also become more conscious of the pros and cons of the workplace. For some, a year of working from home has been a welcome break from the stress and time taken by a commute.
UK Cyber Security Council Unveils Inaugural Leadership Team
The UK Cyber Security Council has introduced its first four trustees as part of preparations to become a fully independent body later this month.
The council’s inaugural leadership has been confirmed as the following: Dr Claudia Natanson (chair), Jessica Figueras (vice-chair), Mike Watson (treasurer) and Carla Baker (trustee).
The appointments come as the independent body for the UK cybersecurity profession prepares to transition from the Cyber Security Alliance led formation project to becoming an entity in its own right at the end of March. The establishment of the Cyber Security Council was first commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in 2019 by a consortium of existing cybersecurity professional groups known as the Cyber Security Alliance.
