A 'big deal' business accelerator, and inspira- tional, lateral thinker, Andy has crafted, created, and been responsible for delivering 100’s £mil- lions of projects within the Cyber, Technical, Risk and Compliance markets for some of the world's largest, leading organisations. Andy has a demonstrable track record of large-scale technical de- livery and management within many sectors including the Professional, Managed, and Financial Services. Andy was one of the first, and very few people to discover the plethora of insecure SolarWinds domains post their massive cyberattack in 2020. It has since been proven that Andy’s version of the attack (and hundreds of others) that an insecure subdomain being hijacked and replaced by a nefarious website being stood up, has now become common knowledge. It has subsequently been accepted as being the initial access and root cause of the initial infiltration (Sunburst). Andy’s research and paper was presented to the United States Senate Intelligence Committee overseeing the SolarWinds breach in January 2021. Following on from the success of Andy’s first book, Stuxnet to Sunburst, 20 years of digital ex- ploitation and cyber warfare, Andy’s second book which collated his experience and in-depth research of over 1000 companies, all of whom have been victims of cyber and ransomware attacks is titled Ransomware and Cybercrime. This book was published in June 2022. In 2022 Andy was commissioned to author his third book on the Ukraine and Russian cyberwars that acted as a precursor to the all-out offensive that commenced on the 24 February 2022. This book is titled Digital Blood on Their Hands.
