Clive Catton MSc (Cybersecurity)
Clive is the cyber security consultant for CyberAwake. He recently graduated from Edinburgh Napier University with an MSc in Advanced Computer Security and Digital Forensics - this course is certified by the Nation Cyber Security Centre. His dissertation was on data privacy and classification in small businesses using Microsoft 365 for Business.
The degree is not the end of the studying – to keep current Clive spends some of his time at work simply reading and studying the latest technology trends and threats so our clients can benefit from this knowledge. This knowledge he shares, daily, at Smart Thinking Soltutions, the place for your cyber security news. Although the news blog is not all doom and gloom, have a look at the "Because It's Friday" blog posts for a bit of fun!
To make full use of Clive’s Master’s degree in cybersecurity, he has a joint venture with an international research company to get access for our clients to up to date information, schemas, analytics, templates, actionable tools and guidance. Whatever the size of your organisation if you are not approaching IT, cybersecurity and information privacy in a way that supports and benefits you, they can help, from the boardroom to the shop floor.
Clive is the CISO at Octagon Technology, with special responsibility for data privacy and cybersecurity. Clive set the company up over 27 years ago to deliver the best IT support possible to small businesses.
