Lee Munson

Whilst employed in the retail sector, Lee decided to change his life completely by entering the field of information security but the journey wasn't easy and took an insane amount of dedication and hard work.

Along the way, he gained a huge amount of passion for the topic through his own research, self-education, and writing on various aspects of the discipline.

This work allowed Lee to gain a unique insight into security. His expertise and knowledge on the subject is demonstrated by the continuing popularity of his own blog and the large network of like-minded individuals he has built up within the Information Security field.

Martin is an absolute techie at heart, having been involved in IT for over 15 years. He has spent the majority of his career at Chester Zoo, working his way up to Head of IT. However, he is now moved on to be Head of IT at Moneypenny.

Over the years he has been mainly focussed on the Network and Security side of IT, but has always thought of himself as an all-rounder. Once he started getting better at the technical side of security he noticed how vulnerable people were. Being a people person is how he differentiates himself to most “typical” IT people.  

He became a CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) and has enjoyed volunteering for them too with their safe and secure online campaign.

With Moneypenny, he runs Business Classes with local schools which involve dumpster dives and Information Security briefings. I am also Membership Secretary for the BCS North Wales and Chester committee, regularly trying to encourage more and more people into IT.
