Llongyfarchiadau i BSides Aberystwyth am ei chynhadledd gyntaf yn ddiweddar ar ddiogelwch gwybodaeth a seiberddiogelwch. Rydym yn falch o weld myfyrwyr Aberystwyth Thiago Gentles, Aidan Hammond a Sidra Batool, yn ogystal â'r uwch ddarlithydd Hannah Dee, yn bresennol yn y digwyddiad cyntaf hwn. Edrychwn ymlaen at y BSides Aberystwyth nesaf.
The award mentioned an incident that Sean led involving a large pathology provider in London in June 2024. The award also noted Sean’s role as Chair of Elijah’s Animal Sanctuary, setup with his wife in memory of their son.
Sean received his award at a ceremony in Windsor Castle in October.
We are very proud of Sean’s work and are pleased to be involving him in discussions for developing our cyber security teaching.
Sean led the NHS England’s Detect and Respond team from October 2022 – February 2025, strengthening cyber security resilience across the NHS during one of NHS’s most critical periods. His leadership and dedication to safeguarding healthcare systems have now earned him recognition at the highest level.
Congratulations to Sean Sapstead on being awarded an MBE for services to cyber security. Sean is a graduate of the Department of Computer Science at Aberystwyth University. Since graduating he has worked in Information and Cyber Security roles in NHS Digital and NHS England. 🧵
Soniwyd yn y wobr am ddigwyddiad a arweiniwyd gan Sean yn ymwneud â darparwr patholeg mawr yn Llundain ym mis Mehefin 2024. Nodwyd hefyd rôl Sean fel Cadeirydd Lloches Anifeiliaid Elijah, a sefydlwyd gyda'i wraig er cof am eu mab.
Derbyniodd Sean ei wobr mewn seremoni yng Nghastell Windsor ym mis Hydref.
Rydym yn falch iawn o waith Sean ac mae’n bleser gennym ei gynnwys mewn trafodaethau i ddatblygu ein haddysgu seiberddiogelwch.
Sean oedd arweinydd tîm Canfod ac Ymateb GIG Lloegr rhwng Hydref 2022 a Chwefror 2025, gan gryfhau gwytnwch seiberddiogelwch ar draws y GIG yn ystod un o gyfnodau mwyaf tyngedfennol y GIG. Mae ei arweinyddiaeth a'i ymroddiad i ddiogelu systemau gofal iechyd bellach wedi ennill cydnabyddiaeth iddo ar y lefel uchaf.
Llongyfarchiadau i Sean Sapstead ar gael MBE am wasanaethau i seiberddiogelwch. Graddiodd Sean o’r Adran Gyfrifiadureg ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth. Ers iddo raddio mae wedi gweithio mewn swyddi ym meysydd Gwybodaeth a Seiberddiogelwch yn y GIG Digidol a GIG Lloegr. 🧵
