This is Ciaran's Crispy Cogitations, launching on 6 December 2022.
It will be (initially) a weekly long from post about (mostly) cyber security, with some occasional reflections on the UK constitution, or something else.
It’s written by Ciaran Martin, Professor at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and former/founding head of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, part of GCHQ. I’m also an adviser to a small number of brilliant cyber security companies.
I was a senior UK civil servant for a very long time. Before I became obsessed with cyber, I was a Treasury, national security and constitutional obsessive.
