Liam Lynch
My name is Liam Lynch and I founded L2 Cyber Security Solutions in January 2016. I have over 35 years of experience working in IT. I found I had an inherent ability when it comes to security, both physical and digital. To paraphrase Cole Sear, the child in the movie The Sixth Sense, “I see Data Breaches!”
I live to the maxim #SecuritySimplified, as I can talk to people of any level in plain, simple English. Even technical, scary subjects such as Cyber Security and boring, legal topics like GDPR are delivered in a common, easy to follow language. I also use humour to make the training fun and interesting.
