Hugh Raynor

Head of Offensive Security at CSA Cyber, with eight years' experience across penetration testing, operational technology and offensive security leadership.

I work with organisations to help them understand their cyber risk and move towards genuine improvements in security maturity. My focus is on making sure offensive security provides clarity and prioritisation that feeds into wider risk management, not just a technical exercise done in isolation.

My background spans enterprise, public sector, and regulated environments, including organisations with complex hybrid and operational technology estates. My career started in technical delivery, but my role now centres on leadership, strategy, and governance, working closely with senior stakeholders to align assurance and testing with business objectives and regulatory expectations.

I'm registered with the UK Cyber Security Council at Principal level. I'm passionate about building credible teams and developing future leaders, making sure offensive security functions can grow without losing the trust, professionalism, and technical integrity that underpin everything we do.
