Chris Sturgess CREST CCT INF CISSP OSCP – Chief Technology Officer

Chris has been at the forefront of the UK’s success in active and defensive cyber operations. Starting his government career at the age of 17, Chris spent over 15 years in the UK’s lead cyber intelligence agency, becoming the operational technical lead.
