Auditing, tax and advisory firm KPMG has expanded its UK Cyber Security team with three new hires: James Todd, Graham Thomas and Catherine Collins, to enhance its cyber security offering to clients.
Formerly a CTO at BT Security, Todd recently joined the firm as director of financial services Cyber and SecOps lead. He will be responsible for leading KPMG’s security operations capability development and service provision with a specific focus on financial services.
“It’s a privilege to be working at KPMG and I’m looking forward to providing the firm’s clients with solutions that can be delivered through automation and as managed services, which is a key part of helping them to strengthen their defences,” said Todd.
Thomas joins the firm as privacy director in the cyber consulting team and will be responsible for the data privacy for financial services and lead the privacy capability across the UK.
Before moving to KPMG, he was the global lead for data privacy & responsibility for Cognizant, where he founded its privacy practice.
“It is exciting to join the firm as the market shifts and having previously built a successful global data privacy practice I await the opportunity to use that knowledge to establish a market-leading data privacy practice in the UK for KPMG,” said Thomas.
Having previously worked at Ankura Consulting Group as a senior director, Collins has joined as director of financial services cyber. In this role, she will be responsible for overseeing business development, relationship management and project management.
“Cyber security is an increasing issue for businesses, and many are looking for the guidance, tools and reassurance to properly protect their organisation,” Collins added. “I am thrilled to be able to join KPMG to help deliver great work for our clients and build trusted relationships.”
