Early Tech Career Network - Intro to Cyber Security

The Early Tech Career Network was established by techUK to bring together leading technology companies and enable people entering the tech industry the opportunity to build their knowledge and add value to the organisations for which they work. The main purpose of the network is to connect with others who are also new to the sector and network to build up a platform for support. 

Rick Hemsley, Managing Director for Security at Accenture, kicked the evening off with tales of his career in tech and his passions for Cyber Security. BT's Sam Cater who works on Applied Research Accelerator as a Security Innovation Manager looked into cyber trends while Ben Aung, Global Chief Information Security Officer at Sage gave the group an insight into working at a FTSE100 company and provided info into his unconventional career journey from an illustrator to security officer.
