Alexander Young, from ECS Security Limited, who won the Best New Cyber Talent award, said: “I was over the moon just being able to apply for the award - I didn’t think I would even be a finalist.

“It’s really nice to get recognition for the work I’ve been doing at ECS Security.

I’d love to come back next year. It’s a great atmosphere; cyber security is such a close knit community in Scotland.”

The hugely successful awards ceremony, hosted by the Scottish Business Resilience Centre, is in its second year and shines a light on innovative work and thinking across Scotland.

Chief Executive Mandy Haeburn-Little said: “It was brilliant.”
