About Me
Steve Jump has an unashamedly technical background being both an engineering graduate and a chartered engineer, which he uses to translate complex technology into serious business. He presently consults and coaches in the area of Information Security Governance and Cyber Security Risk, where he expresses support, sympathy, incredulity and fortunately, frequent flashes of inspiration at the state of Cyber risk awareness and management in business today.
With over twenty five years of practical and strategic information and cyber security experience Steve now provides applied cyber security risk governance coaching, mentoring, and guidance at an Exco, Board and ISO level to ensure that non-technical and technical directors alike are able to understand that information security risk is about business success more than technology, and how this understanding adds significantly more value to a business as an enabler than a fear based approach.
Steve provides both coaching and mentorship at all levels, to CISOs, CEOs, and from CIO’s forming a security team to postgraduate specialists joining that team.
He frequently talks around security governance and presents both simple and complex papers and keynotes around cyber security and risk management topics internationally.
