Supporting the Cyber Stars of the Future

David Marshall, our chief information security officer, has been working with the cyber stars of the future, as part of the Cyber Leaders Challenge

The challenge is the national cyber emergency competition for UK university students.

David Marshall was one of the judges for the event. He judged one of the regional rounds in Manchester. Following this he judged the nationwide quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. These all took place at the iconic BT Tower in London, last week.

The event is designed to identify, test and nurture future cyber talent.

David Marshall, said:

This was the first time that Sellafield Ltd has been involved in the event. David joined other experts from across the public and private sectors, including those from the National Cyber Security Centre.

Cyber security is a priority for all large organisations, and here at Sellafield Ltd, we’ve been working hard to strengthen our cyber security function. Taking part in the event was both a reflection of this, and our commitment to developing a pipeline of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) talent.

David added:

Opportunities

The cyber security team at Sellafield will be growing this year. With a mix of operational and information technology in use across the business, the challenge at Sellafield Ltd is like no other.
