Speaking on their new roles Camilla and Ana said:

‘We are excited to be co-chairing the Young Members
Group and look forward to supporting other young
professionals within the Institute. Through the Group
we hope to better understand the challenges faced
by young professionals like ourselves and see how
the Institute can further support their professional
development as well as provide opportunities to
become more engaged with the security community.

We strongly encourage all those under 35 to get
involved with the Young Members Group. It is a
fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded
professionals, seek peer-to-peer advise and help create
positive change for the entire sector.’

The Security Institute’s Chief Executive Rick Mounfield Ana Spiridonova
CSyP FSyI added: YMG Co-Chair

‘I am grateful to Camilla and Ana for coming forward to
Co-Chair the Young Members Group. The group has
been a long-standing safe space that provides young
professionals with all the opportunities and support
they need to succeed, which I am sure will go from
strength to strength under their leadership.

It is imperative that as a sector we embrace the next
generation of security professionals if we are to remain
innovative and forward-thinking, and I see the Institute’s
Young Members Group as leading the industry’s
efforts.’

The group held their first meeting on May 5th,
that outlined Camilla and Ana’s objectives at the
new Young Members Group Co-Chairs as well as a
presentation from Jenny Radcliffe ‘The People Hacker’.
