Midlands-based cybersecurity services organisation Commissum (Eurofins Cyber Security UK), which is part of Eurofins Digital Testing, has announced that its COO, Boglarka Ronto, has been voted onto the prestigious CREST GB board as an Executive for the next three years.

Commissum is one of the fastest growing cyber security firms in the UK and has doubled in size every year for the past three years, with offices located in Birmingham, Edinburgh and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

She brings to CREST over 15 years’ experience of leading and managing test teams and in recent years running all service delivery operations at Commissum, as well as supporting the wider Eurofins Digital Testing cyber businesses globally.

Boglarka began her career in UNIX administration, which sparked her interest and passion for all things cyber and information security. She then progressed into penetration testing and now heads the Commissum technical services and testing practice.

Of her appointment, Boglarka said: “It’s my privilege to serve as an elected board member for CREST GB and I’m looking forward to contributing to its important work, and supporting CREST’s international expansion objectives alongside championing those from minority and diverse backgrounds into the industry and into leadership positions”.
