A longstanding member of the Institute, Mahbubul has served on the Board of Directors and been the Institute’s strategic lead for cyber and convergence for the past three years. He has played a major role in establishing and developing the Cyber and Convergence Special Interest Group (CCSIG), which has delivered a number of successful learning events and publishes quarterly Cyber Insights. Mahbubul also represents the Institute in the Cyber Alliance, a collective of organisations that was awarded the UK Government contract to develop and deliver the UK Cyber Security Council, a priority programme of the UK National Cyber Security Strategy.
Peter Lavery FSyI said: “As a longstanding and active member and supporter of the Institute, I have been very impressed with Mahbubul’s contributions to the Board over the last three years and his leadership of the Cyber Convergence Special Interest Group (CCSIG). For more than two years Mahbubul has led the Security Institute’s contribution to the formation of the UK Cyber Security Council (UK-CSC) which will launch next month. Apart from co-ordinating the Institute’s volunteers across numerous work streams (WS), he personally led WS5 on ‘Developing the Profession’.
“Mahbubul was an obvious contender for Deputy Chair of the Institute, and I am very pleased that he accepted the position. He continues to bring valued experience and sound council to the Institute’s leadership team and will also chair our Audit Committee as the Institute continues to grow and contribute to societal security.”
Mahbubul added: “I am delighted to take on the additional responsibility of Deputy Chair, it is great to remain involved with the Security Institute and support the Board as we continue to implement our vision and strategy for our members and partners.
“Being involved with the UK Cyber Security Council Formation Project remains a key outcome for the Security Institute as we drive a converged approach to Security.”
