Danny King
Managing Director
I am responsible for the operation of our exciting SASIG events, including coordinating the high-quality speakers the conferences attract. I bring substantial project and account management experience to my role. It's great how we enable the conversation on security between world-leading organisations, developing our events in an ever-changing and increasingly digital world.
Security tip: (Clear desk, clear screen) Ctrl + Alt + Delete followed by ‘lock screen’ works a treat for security.
Doris SmithWise
Chief Snack Supervisor
As chief snack supervisor I tend to make myself known whenever food is present. My parents are the founders, so I pretty much have free rein of the office, which allows me to investigate any smells and potential snacks. If I am not visible, it is usually because I am sitting by Nadia’s feet supervising fallen crisps.
Security tip: Never leave your lunch unattended, you never know who will be sniffing around to snap it up!
Jo Wise
Finance Director
As co-founder, I am passionate about setting our strategic direction so it can continue to grow. I have worked in every part of our business over the years, and every day brings a new challenge, so our amazing people have to be on their toes.
Security tip: If you work whilst on holiday, ensure you secure your devices and information at all times, as you never know who might be watching.
Martin Smith
Chairman and Founder
I predominantly spend my time chairing our dedicated security awareness events for cybersecurity professionals. When I began in the industry, I would not have believed the exciting, stimulating (and, on occasion, frightening) adventure I had embarked upon. I am beyond words when I look around at our team and all we have achieved for and with our fabulous community.
Security tip: Just like shoulder surfers, eavesdroppers can steal information silently. Do not discuss sensitive information if there is a chance of being overheard.
Nadia Khan
Project Coordinator
My main responsibility is to coordinate our SASIG events. I have worked in the events industry since studying Events Management at university and have never looked back. I love the challenge and diversity of SASIG as no two events are ever the same. Organisation is my strongest skill, and I am determined to ensure that every event runs like clockwork.
Security tip: Remember to set strong PINs or passwords and check your settings to make sure that Siri or Google Assistant cannot be activated on the lock screen. Leaving your phone unlocked allows anyone to access your email and social media accounts, and call premium-rate numbers.
Nicole Hayward
Events Coordinator
My background in admin, sales, reception and events has enabled me to build up essential skills in organisation and customer service, which helps me to ensure I provide the best service possible as an events coordinator at SASIG. I love the process that goes into every event we organise and take pride in all that we do.
Security tip: Think before you click. Just because you can click, doesn’t mean you should. Malicious links can damage in several ways, so inspect links and ensure they’re from trusted senders before clicking.
