Michael Bourton , Reading, United Kingdom

With over fifteen years’ experience gained from technical work in a variety of locations and environments, and a
passion for IT security, I provide cyber security consulting and training, alongside business continuity planning.

Extensive experience with both Linux and Windows operating systems, and handling interoperability between the
two. I have designed and built networks, mostly using Cisco hardware, but implemented network services and
firewalls from a variety of providers. In recent years I have worked with cloud providers such as Amazon EC2 and
Digital Ocean to provide computing and backup services. I have I am a Prince2 practitioner, and have extensive
experience working with ITIL change management.

Cyber security experience gained over the past decade, working within the finance industry and confirming to
ISO27001 standards, as well as PCI-DSS and GDPR, and recently from passing the CEH and CISSP certification. My
experience includes IT security management, tasks such as business continuity planning, including risk management
and impact analysis. I have performed penetration tests for numerous employers, and in recent years, for clients of
my consulting company.
