Commenting on his appointment, Raf Sanchez said: “This is a critical time for cyber risk; with an increasingly distributed workforce, well-funded and innovative adversaries and the challenge of fending off a barrage of constant attacks, there has never been a more important time to help clients to be better prepared to respond.

“We are moving into an exciting but challenging chapter of our cyber journey. Our experience across tens of thousands of incidents of all types and severities and in a multitude of territories means that we can provide unique insights and expertise to our clients. I am excited to be taking on this new global leadership role spearheading this critical unit at a time when our clients need our support more than ever.”
