Associate Director, Cyber Security

Ankur Aeran

I'm passionate about solving problems to reduce risk and improve cyber resilience.

I am a trusted adviser with a breadth of hands-on and senior leadership experience in cyber security. At Grant Thornton, I am responsible for providing cyber security advisory and assurance services, providing visibility of risks, managing remedial actions, and providing assurance on the effectiveness of controls.

I've spent the last two decades delivering cyber maturity, readiness and supplier assessments against cyber security frameworks and industry best practices, such as NIST CSF and ISO 27001, and industry best practices. I oversee complex projects to address gaps and comply with regulations and frameworks. This includes designing, implementing, and managing activities to secure data, applications, and infrastructure, and managing associated risks. 

In my current role, I provide SME oversight, lead cyber security engagements and deliver internal audits across cyber security domains such as Governance including cyber strategy review, Vulnerability Management, Incident Response, Identify and Access Management and Supply Chain Security.

My approach is client-driven, pragmatic, and focused on delivering genuine, value-added advice, whether this is for a large and complex business, or for a small to medium enterprise. 

When not working, I love to spend time with my family, socialise with friends and make new connections.
