James Shepperd

Content Strategist

James has been at ESET for three years, as part of the Global PR team, so he reviews a lot of stories: ESET’s, its competitors’, and many news stories that tell of both awareness and opportunity – but also fear and missteps in a world that isn’t always so secure. As a parent, he is affected by stories in which kids feature. So helping ESET and the wider cybersecurity community to instil good digital instincts in kids, James says, is key to keeping them, and all of us, safe in this shared digital world.
