UK Cyber Security Council Unveils Inaugural Leadership Team
The UK Cyber Security Council has introduced its first four trustees as part of preparations to become a fully independent body later this month.
The council’s inaugural leadership has been confirmed as the following: Dr Claudia Natanson (chair), Jessica Figueras (vice-chair), Mike Watson (treasurer) and Carla Baker (trustee).
The appointments come as the independent body for the UK cybersecurity profession prepares to transition from the Cyber Security Alliance led formation project to becoming an entity in its own right at the end of March. The establishment of the Cyber Security Council was first commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in 2019 by a consortium of existing cybersecurity professional groups known as the Cyber Security Alliance.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is funding a new organisation that will set standards and advise on education and career paths in the cyber security sector.
The UK Cyber Security Council, which will be formally launched on 31 March, aims to give cyber security a similar status to professions such as engineering. Its work will include accrediting courses and qualifications run by training providers and working to increase the number and diversity of those working in this area.
