Bob is the Director of Information Security at Aspire. He has a long history in information security, IT Infrastructure, development, and business systems across a diverse range of customers from Richard Branson’s Necker Island to Government organisations in both the UK and the Caribbean.
Internally at Aspire, Bob is responsible for cyber security, information security and compliance with standards. Bob also heads up Aspire’s security teams from security consultants to security operations Centre analysts and everything in between.
In terms of interests, Bob’s primary focus is information and cyber security, however he still likes to stay hands-on with technology, developing applications, writing scripts and playing with security solutions to get a real understanding (not just what’s written on the tin!).
Bob has always been interested in technology and its potential to improve people’s lives, but he is also aware of the risks that come with it. He became involved in the North East Cyber Expert Group because he is passionate about making the digital world safer and more secure and is committed to continuing to help SMEs in the region to strengthen their cybersecurity posture, build resilience, and thrive in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
