LONDON, UK – 20th June 2025

Cyro Cyber is proud to announce that Peter Lane, Consultancy Director, has been named the 'Rising Star' at the SC Awards 2025, one of the most prestigious accolades in the cyber security industry.

Peter’s recognition is a testament to the impact he has made since entering the sector. A former military professional, he has brought a unique combination of operational discipline, deep technical expertise and a people first mindset to his role at Cyro Cyber, helping reshape how clients approach cyber resilience and compliance. He’s quickly established himself as a trusted expert: an ITIL Practitioner, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, and PCI Qualified Security Assessor. But beyond the certifications, it’s Peter’s presence that sets him apart.

"Peter’s approach is grounded, practical and incredibly effective," said Shannon Simpson, CEO of Cyro Cyber. "He’s not only helping some of the UK’s most complex organisations navigate risk, but he’s also helping to shape the future of our industry."

Peter leads on projects that demand both precision and adaptability, from PCI DSS and ISO 27001 implementations to data loss prevention strategies using Microsoft Purview. His ability to break down complex technical requirements into actionable steps has earned him a strong reputation as a trusted advisor.

Over the past year, Peter has also become a recognised voice within the industry. His session at the 2024 International Cyber Expo was one of the most highly attended of the event, and he has delivered key insights at both PCI London 2025 and Cyro's own expert-led webinars.

Beyond his technical impact, Peter is also a passionate advocate for supporting the next generation of cybersecurity talent. He played a key role in Cyro’s Armed Forces Covenant accreditation and actively mentors veterans transitioning into civilian cyber careers.

"This award means a great deal, not just to me but to everyone who's supported my journey," said Peter Lane. "I’m really grateful to Cyro Cyber for their support and investment in my career. I’m lucky to have found an organisation willing to invest in me and I’ve loved using my skills to harness the company’s mission in keeping organisations secure, from small companies all the way through to critical national infrastructure.”

The SC Awards judges praised Peter for "seamlessly blending military discipline, technical expertise and strategic innovation", calling him a standout rising star in the field.
