Some call me the superhero of cyber security, but I am just doing our civic duty, fighting cyber crime, protecting citizens and businesses from the potential devastation of hackers and scammers! When I take a rare day off from tackling cyber villains, you can find me consulting about the Dark Web and Cyber/Computer Security, working closely with Banks, Councils, Cyber Police, WCIT, speaking in the UK and internationally, or building projects from old pallets.

Originally from South Africa, Francis West has spent nearly 30 years in the UK delivering IT and cyber security solutions to businesses.
