Nick Benson, CREST Chief Executive Officer, said: “Supporting the professionalisation of the cyber workforce globally is a high priority for CREST. We see real momentum by national authorities in numerous countries to tackle this as a key building block for sector maturity, growth, effective cross-border work and the free movement of talent.”
