EX-GCHQ Director Robert Hannigan joins Hiscox

Hiscox UK has appointed the former Director of GCHQ Robert Hannigan as a Special Advisor on Cyber Security.

Hannigan, credited with developing the UK’s first Cyber Security Strategy and setting up the National Cyber Security Centre, will work closely with Hiscox and its specialist cyber division to provide market intelligence, staff training and inform the development of new and existing cyber products.

“The risks that cyber criminals pose, both to businesses and individuals in the UK are significant and sophisticated," says Hannigan, who will have the title of Special Advisor at Hiscox UK and Ireland. "Cyber attacks are intrusive, costly and disruptive, which is why businesses and the public must be proactive in establishing a defence against them. In addition, the organisations that protect us – from insurers and software providers to UK regulators – must also evolve their understanding and defence against cyber crime, and the sharing of knowledge through partnerships like this is central to that."
