A former UK and Manx government advisor has been appointed to head up cyber security operations at KPMG Isle of Man.
Bryan Beesley, who becomes Senior Manager, also spent 16 years with the UK Ministry of Defence and Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
Mr Beesley says his ambition is to make KPMG the Islands 'first port of call' for strategic cyber security and guidance.
