Hannah Dowie, events manager at CSO, said: "We are delighted to continue to induct invitees into the CSO Hall of Fame, which is reserved for those who make the most outstanding contribution to the cyber security industry.

"Lisa was a natural choice for 2024, her passion and enthusiasm for keeping businesses and the general public safe online from the growing cyber threat is exemplary and it was wonderful to induct her into the CSO Hall of Fame."

On the same day, she won the 'Cyber Security Personality of the Year' award at The Real Cyber Awards.

She was also listed as one of Computing Magazine’s Top 50 Women in Tech and Cyber Security for 2024 on Friday (November 29).

Ms Ventura MBE said: "To win not just one but three cyber security industry awards in one week, and be inducted into the CSO Hall of Fame is a huge honour.

"I entered the cyber security industry in 2009 and over the years I’ve seen it grow and develop as new technologies and new ways are discovered to help keep us safe from the growing cyber threat, such as artificial intelligence (AI).

"As the founder of Cyber Security Unity, I work tirelessly to raise as much awareness as possible as to the importance of cyber security, and I urge any Worcester or Worcestershire based organisations reading this who would like advice about their cyber security posture to contact me.

"Cyber security really is everyone’s responsibility, and the more that can be done to help educate people as to the importance of it, the better equipped the UK will be to combat the growing cyber threat in 2025 and beyond."
