After six and half years in the job, Ciaran Martin is to relinquish his role as head of UK cybersecurity.
The 45-year-old has announced plans to surrender his title of chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in the summer of 2020.
Oxford University graduate Martin, who has dedicated his entire working life to the UK civil service, described his years with the NCSC as “the privilege of a lifetime.” British government ministers established the NCSC four years ago on the recommendation of Martin, who was then appointed to lead it.
Martin in a statement: “When we created the NCSC we set out to achieve something truly special, and I hope and believe we are leaving UK cyber security in much better shape.”
