Cambridge student Jonathan Millican crowned UK Cyber Security Champion Jonathan Millican beat other cyber security experts to be crowned champion Jonathan Millican beat other cyber security experts to be crowned champion As cyber security becomes a bigger concern for both businesses and households, a number of leading computing organisations sponsored the event together in an effort to ensure they are at the cutting edge of defence technology. In the final on Saturday, competitors went head-to-head in a number of role-playing challenges where they had to advise businesses of the best ways to protect themselves from cyber threats. Jonathan Hoyle, director general for cyber security at UK Government Communications Headquarters, commented: ‘It is through initiatives such as this that organisations … can continue to develop and maintain our leading edge in cyberspace by being able to recruit the right people with the right skills.’ The need to invest in such cyber security initiatives is becoming ever-clearer, with five hackers last week being arrested by the FBI. Sabu, who turned informant following his own arrest, and his group, orchestrated several major hacking incidents, including the Stratfor incident which led to the details of 221 British military officials and 242 Nato staff being exposed.
