Fergus Hay is a leading global voice on cybersecurity, digital psychology and Gen Z culture. As Founder and CEO of The Hacking Games, the world\u2019s most recognised Gen Z hacking platform, he is transforming the future of cyber talent by redirecting young people from cybercrime towards careers in ethical hacking.<\/p>\n
The Hacking Games operates across the UK, Saudi Arabia, Albania and Kosovo, with national programmes underway in other Western markets. The organisation works with governments, Ministries of Defence, defence primes and leading technology, cybersecurity and consumer brands.<\/p>\n
Combining gamified cyber simulations, AI-powered aptitude mapping through its HAPTAI platform and entertainment-led engagement, Fergus is tackling two interconnected challenges: the rapidly growing global cost of cybercrime and the critical shortage of cybersecurity talent. His work reframes cybersecurity as not simply a technical challenge, but a cultural and generational opportunity.<\/p>\n
A trusted commentator on cybersecurity and digital culture, Fergus regularly appears on BBC World News, Sky News and NBC, and has been featured in the Financial Times, The Times and The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
