Dr. Cyril Onwubiko is the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Barclays, where he oversees security for Cross-Barclays Digital Platform (XDP). Before joining Barclays, he served as Senior Director of Enterprise Security Architecture at Pearson, a leading global learning company. His career spans various sectors, including finance, telecommunications, government, and public services.

Cyril is an award-winning professional, recipient of the IEEE Computer Society Golden Core and  Distinguished Contributor awards for technical contributions and lifelong service. He is an active volunteer, serving on the Board of the IEEE Computer Society and holding several key positions, such as the 2024 Vice President, Professional and Educational Activities Board (PEAB), Distinguished Speaker (DVP), and Member of the European Public Policy Committee for ICT and Artificial Intelligence.

A leading scholar in Cyber Situational Awareness (Cyber SA), Cyber Security, and Cyber Science, Cyril has extensive experience in Enterprise Security Architecture, Information Assurance, HMG / Government Security, Risk Assessment & Management, Security Operations Centre, Cyber-Threat Analysis, Graph Theory, Intrusion Detection Systems, Data Fusion, and the mathematical analysis of security. His current focus areas include Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning for Cyber Security, and Blockchain Technologies.

Cyril holds a PhD in Computer Network Security from Kingston University, London, UK; MSc in Internet Engineering, from University of East London, London, UK, and BSc, first class honours, in Computer Science & Mathematics. He is also a graduate of Organisational Leadership from the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, UK.

He has authored several books including “Security Framework for Attack Detection in Computer Networks” and “Concepts in Numerical Methods.” He co-edited the book on “Situational Awareness in Computer Network Defense: Principles, Methods & Applications” published by IGI Global, USA. Authored several book chapters, including Security Issues to Cloud Computing, in the book on “Cloud Computing: Principles, Systems and Applications“ by Springer, “Challenges to Managing Privacy Impact Assessment of Personal Identifiable Data“, in the book on Information Assurance and Security Technologies for Risk Assessment and Threat Management: Advances and Designing Information Systems and Network Components for Situational Awareness, in the book on Situational Awareness in Computer Network Defense: Principles, Methods and Applications.

Cyril is the editor of the Cyber Science series, the flagship conference of the Centre for Multidisciplinary Research, Innovation & Collaboration (C-MRiC), London, UK. Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Cyber Situational Awareness (IJCSA), ISSN (Online) 2057-2182. A guest editor of the IEEE HKN (The Bridge) May 2023, Cyber Security edition. He has published over 40 articles in leading and most prestigious academic journals and conferences.

He is a passionate volunteer; hence he is a reviewer, keynote speaker, presenter, programme & steering committee member to over 40 academic conferences and journals. He is an invited guest lecturer to a number of universities in the UK, a PhD assessor and examiner to a number of universities, including Aalborg University, Denmark, University of Derby, UK & Robert Gordon University, Scotland. He is also a Trustee of the Citizens Advice Bureau, UK.

In 2009, Cyril, through a consortium comprising Professor Theo Dimitrakos (British Telecommunications, Project Contact), Dr Thomas Owens (Brunel University, Project Manager), and Dr Cyril Onwubiko (Research Series, Project Technical Lead), won a Technology Strategy Board (now Innovate UK) collaborative research and development project competition (Reference code: APPS2B) titled Information Infrastructure Protection: Managing Complexity, Risk & Resilience worth over 1 million pounds. The research, which focused on holistic risk analysis framework for identifying interdependent nature and impact of cumulative risks within large complex infrastructures, is a prototype based on Cyril’s book Security Framework for Attack Detection in Computer Networks, VDM Verlag, ISBN: 3639089340.

In the summer of 2014, Cyril founded the Centre for Multidisciplinary Research, Innovation and Collaboration (C-MRiC), a not for profit and non-governmental organisation dedicated to the advancement of outstanding research and innovation through collaboration, and dissemination of scientific and industrial contributions through seminars and publications. Its flagship conference, Cyber Science, a multidisciplinary conference, focusing on advanced and emerging aspects of Cyber Security, Situational Awareness, Artificial Intelligence, Social Media and Blockchain Technologies. The Centre participates, encourages and promotes collaborative scientific, industrial and academic inter-workings among individual researchers, scholars, practitioners, members of existing associations, academia, standardisation bodies, and including government departments and agencies (www.c-mric.org).
