UK’s cyber security chief Ciaran Martin to step down

The head of Britain’s frontline defence against cyber attack warned the challenge of securing technology will become ever more complex as it was revealed he will step down next year.

Ciaran Martin, 45, will leave the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in the summer, almost four years after founding the organisation, the government said on Friday evening.

It said his decision to move on had been a “long-standing” plan.

“It has been the privilege of a lifetime to set up the NCSC and lead its brilliant people,” Mr Martin, a career civil servant, said 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.
