36 CEO MONTHLY / GLOBAL CEO EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2021 , Most Innovative Cyber Security CEO 2021: Ian Mann In a fast-growing, vast industry, ECSC has been developing as a full-service cyber security provider for over 20 years. Let’s look at what ECSC does and how its CEO, Ian Mann, has helped it to progress and stay elevated even throughout a globally difficult time. ECSC Group plc was founded in 2000 and has now become the UK’s longest running, full-service cyber security service provider. It offers an extensive range of in-house developed proprietary technologies, including advanced Artificial Intelligence systems. ECSC offers its services with a consultancy approach that extends your current expertise and technologies, so that you may rest assured your information is safe and secure. It has helped clients in over 20 countries to recover from incidents, enhance their cyber security, and gain a range of information and cyber security certifications. It supports its clients by utilising its in-house technology to create bespoke solutions to meet every need. It provides expert security breach prevention and advisory support to organisations across all sectors. Operating from two Security Operations Centres - one in Yorkshire, UK, and the other in Brisbane, Australia – ECSC offers flexible 24/7/365 cyber security monitoring, detection, and response support to its clients, either as a fully managed service, or to enhance an organisation’s existing cyber security systems. Consequently, ECSC creates a protected environment for stored information. In addition, ECSC’s Assurance division provides guidance, certification to industry standards, and extensive testing services to allow organisations to assess their cyber security protection. All of its consultants are extremely qualified, and its minimum qualification is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional. In addition, all ECSC specialists are Payment Card Industry Security Assessors, and its ISO 27001 specialists have all passed the ISO 27001 Lead Auditor examination, so you can be sure that you are in the right hands. Priding itself on its 90% plus staff retention, ECSC has developed long lasting relationships with its employees as well as its customers who keep coming back for its cyber security services. This has been done by working closely with each individual need, be it for employees or clients. Moreover, ECSC consultants are regularly quoted in the media, such as via The BBC, SC Magazine, Computer Weekly and Director Magazine. The pandemic has had a huge impact on the online world. As each country fluctuated through its own variations of lockdown, organisations shifted employees to working remotely, many facilitated this with accelerating their cloud migrations. As most of the breaches ECSC respond to originate in cloud projects, it witnessed a growth of breaches in general. Ian Mann is the CEO and Founder of the cyber security May21048 consultancy firm. With over 20 years of experience in the cyber security sector, he established a Cisco Networking Academy for Dixons City Technology College prior to founding ECSC. Ian’s professional qualifications include CISSP, PCI QSA and ISO Lead Auditor, and he holds a a B.Eng. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Nottingham, and an MBA from the Open University. However, his dedication to furthering his own knowledge and expertise did not stop there. By writing the acclaimed social engineering texts, Hacking the Human: Social Engineering Techniques and Security Countermeasures, and Hacking the Human II: The Adventures of a Social Engineer, he has created a name for himself in the industry as a leading mind committed to sharing his expertise. Indeed, part of ECSC’s goal is to increase knowledge and awareness surrounding cyber security. Ian regularly hosts events that are free for anyone to attend. This is so that the topics may be discussed and understood in line with industry standards and news, so that clients and potential clients can be as informed as possible. These events have continued throughout the pandemic, as webinars, because nothing can stop ECSC from creating a safe and secure plan for its clients. Contact: Ian Mann Web Address: www.ecsc.co.uk
