SureCloud, globally renowned provider of cloud-based, integrated risk management solutions and cyber security services, has further enhanced its senior management team with the twin appointments of Ben Jepson as Vice-President and Craig Moores as Practice Director, of SureCloud’s new Risk Advisory division. Jepson will have overall responsibility and Moores will be accountable for the delivery capability within the new practice.

Both join from global cyber security specialist NCC Group and will bring their experience in international business development, cyber security and risk consultancy to establish and grow SureCloud’s new Risk Advisory practice.
