I appeared before the House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology looking at cybersecurity and the role of SMEs in government contracts.
I was a member of a Foreign Office delegation to Oman with Ian Levy, Technical Director of the National Cyber Secuirty Centre and Stephen Bailey, Associate Director, NCC Group, February 2020.
I contributed to a recent report for the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology on Cyber security in critical national infrastructures.
April 2019, I gave a cross-Whitehall seminar to the cyber teams from BEIS, Cabinet Office, DCMS, DIT, DfT, Home Office and Treasury organised by Paula Walsh's team in the Foreign and Commonwealth office.
I have briefed a number of Cabinet Ministers including Richard Harrington (BEIS, 2018), Jeremy Hunt (FCO, March 2019) and Shadow Cabinet Ministers including Jo Platt (Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, Feb 2019), Nia Griffith, (Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, March 2019).
I have supported a number of initiatives across government including the development of the UK National Cyber Security Strategy, the UK Aviation Cyber Security Strategy; briefing cyber teams at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (April 2019), BEIS (December 2018, April 2019), Cabinet Office (April 2019), Dept for Transport (2017-), DCMS (April, 2019), Home Office (September 2018) etc.
I coordinated the UK Computing Research Community UKCRC submissions to the following consultations:
April 2019, I was a panellist on the Naked Scientist, part of the Edinburgh Science Festival to be broadcast in May.
The UK Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, visits my lab in March 2019 to give a speech on Deterrence in the Cyber Age, reported by the BBC, Herald, Guardian, New York Times, Reuters, Scotsman, Sky News, The Sun, Telegraph 1 , Telegraph 2. Coverage from NCSC/EPSRC RITICS project.
