About our practice Cyber security is one of the defining topics of our age, and cyber risk represents one of the most significant strategic risks to PwC's clients. In a recent PwC survey it remains the top risk in the minds of CEO's globally, with 91% of UK CEOs rating it as a significant concern. Businesses are changing rapidly, facing disrupted supply chains, rapidly changing workforces and accelerating digital transformation on an unprecedented scale. In particular, Cyber attacks on Operational Technology (OT) are more complex and more prevalent than ever before. Malicious actors are smarter and more determined to bring operational infrastructure to its knees - from infecting engineering and manufacturing plants with ransomware, to hacking the systems that run public utilities. No matter which industry our clients are in, if they have operational technology, these kinds of threats pose a fundamental risk - to our clients, their customers and the communities they're part of. At PwC we help our clients transform, and our cyber security practice enables them to execute that transformation securely and to become more resilient to cyber security threats. Our cyber security practice operates nationally, and serves clients holistically with both strategy, risk and governance advice, and with deep technical implementation and assurance expertise. As one of the largest cyber security specialist consulting practices in the UK, we have over 250 practitioners who range from business risk advisors who work with CEOs, CFOs and boards, to transformation specialists who execute major change programmes, to deep technical SMEs who help clients implement controls to secure their businesses from attack, and support them to respond when an attack occurs. Our practice is experiencing significant growth which is driven by demand from our clients for greater assistance in dealing with increasingly complex cyber security risks, and support in executing their change and growth agendas securely. We believe helping our clients gain confidence in their digital future is essential to their growth, and as a result our cyber security practice is one of the key growth priorities of our firm.

We support client leadership teams to define their risk appetite and a proportionate target state of cyber capability and maturity to deliver it; we define operating and governance models to make cyber security a sustainable capability which responds to evolving business priorities; we deliver complex multi-year transformation programmes both uplifting clients' cyber security capability, and baking cyber security in to other transformation agendas. We also help clients define and assure complex control solutions to help them manage their risks. As a leader in our practice you will job a vibrant team of Partners and other Directors leading the execution of our most complex client engagements, developing and nurturing trusted relationships with senior stakeholders at our largest clients, identifying and winning new work for our practice, and leading our team of cyber security specialists.
