The People Behind Rossnet
Independent advice on AI, automation and cyber security — from someone who has built and assured this work, not just read about it.
Meet the Team behind Rossnet
Dr Joseph Ross
Joseph started Rossnet to bring the kind of technology advice normally reserved for large organisations to the ones that need it most. Behind that is a doctorate in digital transformation and artificial intelligence, chartered fellowship of the BCS, and delivery experience across defence, policing and higher education.
That work includes an AI and automation research engagement with the Ministry of Defence, a cyber assurance assessment for a UK police force, and modelling and optimisation work for large organisations. He served as Director and Chief Technology and Finance Officer of the South West Cyber Resilience Centre — an organisation set up specifically to help smaller businesses defend themselves. He also teaches, from secondary school computing through to Master's level, and supervises doctoral research.
