“With the cost of the Jaguar LandRover hack approaching nearly £2 billion, this now stands as the single most economically damaging cyber incident the UK has ever seen — and it should serve as a wake-up call for every board and public body in the country. This isn’t just a technical failure but an economic and operational resilience failure". With over twenty years of experience in information technology and cybersecurity, Simon Onyons brings deep expertise in financial regulation, cyber strategy and operations to help organisations strengthen their security posture and resilience. Simon also serves as Senior Advisor to the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), where he works on the NCSC Advisory Group to support national initiatives aimed at improving cyber resilience across the UK, and he continues in this role while at Kroll.
