ABOUT LEIGH C.

With an MSc in Cyber Security and certifications including CQI and IRCA Certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor, Cyber Scheme Team Member (CSTM), IT Security Architect (ISA), and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), I bring over 30 years of distinguished service in the British Army, specialising in Information Technology, Information Security, Data Protection, and Cyber Security. My expertise spans multiple cyber disciplines, including Web3 Security, Blockchain Security, Cloud Security, Incident Response, Digital Forensics, Threat Modelling, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). I apply proven traditional cyber security principles, such as zero-trust architectures, defence-in-depth strategies, and comprehensive risk assessments, to the unique challenges of decentralised systems, smart contracts, and blockchain environments.I have a strong track record of successfully leading complex, high-stakes projects, ensuring delivery on time and within budget. Throughout my career, I have developed and executed strategic project plans, conducted in-depth risk analyses tailored to emerging technologies like Web3, and overseen large-scale capability programmes in high-security contexts.As a skilled communicator and negotiator, I build and maintain productive relationships with clients, suppliers, and stakeholders, driving informed strategic decisions in both traditional and decentralised ecosystems.
