I’m Peter Bassill, a lifelong problem-solver with a passion for both the digital and the tangible
I help businesses stay ahead of threats in an ever-evolving digital landscape. I’ve spent decades building and securing systems, leading teams, and overthinking adversaries in the cyber domain. I also sit on the EU Council for CREST.
Since joining Cyber Defence as an interim Director of People Operations, I’ve been blown away by the team’s passion and expertise. Cybersecurity is a completely new industry for me, and integrating into this environment while streamlining day-to-day operations and sourcing new talent has been amazing. The future is bright for Cyber Defence, and I highly recommend their services, including 24/7 SOC, robust security assessment programmes, and comprehensive vulnerability management and remediation.
Joining Cyber Defence Ltd. has been an incredible journey of growth. I’ve deepened my understanding of cybersecurity, translating complex challenges into clear solutions for our clients. This role has sharpened my ability to build trust-based relationships, aligning cybersecurity with broader business goals. What excites me most is combining my resilience training with the high-pressure nature of cybersecurity, helping organizations navigate challenges confidently. Being part of a mission to create a safer, more secure future is truly rewarding.”
