Ollie Whitehouse said: “I’m honoured to be starting as Chief Technology Officer at the NCSC and look forward to supporting its world-class talent in their critical work keeping the UK safe online.

“Having worked closely with the NCSC since its inception, I know how crucial its mission is and I am eager to contribute to our national security by addressing the collective challenges we face in maintaining our edge in cyberspace.”
