Clive Catton MSc (Cyber Security)

Clive is the CISO at Octagon Technology Ltd with special responsibility for data privacy and cybersecurity. The world of business technology is constantly changing and to meet this challenge 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 also shapes and supports the products and services Octagon delivers to clients.

To make full use of Clive’s Master’s degree in cybersecurity, Clive and Diana have 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 and Diana are also working on a project to provide flexible online cyber security training for businesses at CyberAwake - Train Your Team To Protect You Against Cyber Attacks. Clive is the cybersecurity consultant for the project.

Clive has a long running personal blog at Clive's Blog. Here he publishes articles about photography, walking, camping, technology, stuff he just likes and since January 1, 2012, he posts "a photo a day" on the blog.
