Bio

I help businesses and individuals understand the complexities of technology, and its intersection with cybercrime. Researcher, futurist, and storyteller, I am the Vice President of Security Intelligence at Forescout. My examination of the murky world of cybercrime and the cloudy future of technology sees me advise law enforcement, governments and enterprises alike. I am a founding Special Advisor to Europol’s European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3), a multi-award-winning video producer and writer, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and board advisor. In April 2011 I was grateful to be inducted into the Infosecurity Hall of Fame. I investigate the wider implications of new developments in technology, and their potential impact on security, both for the enterprise and for society. I’ve published papers, articles, videos and regularly speak at conferences including RSA, Mobile World Congress, Milken Institute, Virus Bulletin, RUSI, and the e-Crime Congress. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree from the University of Wales and have qualified as a Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP).
