The ISC2 London Chapter is made up of the following officers and volunteers:
The President – Liz Banbury CISSP
I’ve spent approximately 18 years working in Technology within the Financial industry and started out in JPMorgan working in the Back Office Settlements systems and progressed to Release/Environment management.
I have now been in the Information Security space for circa 10 years firstly as the Regional Portfolio manager for Information Security & Technology Risk within the Information Security Office at ANZ Bank, from there moved to Standard Chartered Bank where I headed up the Information and Cyber Security Policy function and as of Q4, 2021 moved to Hiscox Insurance as the Chief Information Security Officer. I am CISSP [Certified Information Systems Security Professional] certified and have been a member of ISC2 since 2016.
I’m passionate about what I do and particularly interested in people and the impact that behaviour and culture have on security holistically. Cyber Security is a very interesting, dynamic, fast moving, fast changing area where I feel that each individual should have a certain basic level of knowledge in the key threats we face and the controls that need to be put in place to safeguard themselves and their assets both at home and in the workplace.
Since leaving school I have been fortunate enough to have been able to travel a fair amount and have spent 20 years living in Asia, first in Hong Kong and more recently in Singapore, returning to London June 2017.
