In December 2023, Trident Search, a leading cyber security recruitment specialist, was retained by Reliance Cyber, a major MDR service provider, to source a CTO to drive key business decisions and take the company's cyber offering to the next level. After a three-month recruitment cycle, we were pleased to place Lawrence Munro in post.

​In March 2024, Trident Search welcomed expert guests to the Cyber Security Innovation Forum. Having explored several critical external risks in our previous events, we wanted to put the lens on the very real challenges leaders face within their own security architecture. In other words, we looked at the red flags in our industry, how to spot and mitigate them, and crucially, how to avoid them!

We certainly have an understanding of the cyber security challenges facing Operational Technology, but the real crux of the issue is the people challenges in the sector. With such a range of technical expertise required, we’re seeing a real shortage of skilled professionals with good levels of cyber awareness coming through, and this is giving rise to some pretty significant security challenges.
