Our Team

The People Behind the Network

We're not generalist recruiters who dabble in cyber. We live in this industry: on stage, in the community, and in the trenches with the people we place.

The Team

We're part of the industry, not watching from the outside.

Ricki Burke

Ricki Burke

Director & Founder

Ricki founded CyberSec People in 2015 because he was tired of recruiters who didn't understand the industry they were hiring for. A Black Hat speaker, BSides organiser, and career mentor to thousands of security professionals. He's part of the community, and that's why the best candidates take his call.
