He helps mid-market companies, global enterprises and critical industries navigate complex security challenges with clarity, confidence, and measurable outcomes. Previously, Rich held a number of roles at Vodafone across operational security, security risk and compliance and was pivotal in launching new security services across Europe as part of the security growth strategy for the company.

With deep experience in building and delivering advanced cyber programs, Rich partners with CISOs, IT leaders, and risk managers to align technical solutions with business objectives. His expertise spans managed detection and response (MDR), managed SIEM, threat intelligence, penetration testing, vulnerability management, and hybrid SOC collaboration models.

Rich specializes in reassessing MSSP or SOC strategy, solving challenges with businesses who are struggling with SIEM complexity, cloud migration, or alert fatigue, building a business case for MDR, XDR, or vulnerability management and delivering measurable value, not just technology solutions.

Keven Knight is the architect behind Talion’s transformation from a defense-grade security division into an agile, client-focused cybersecurity partner. He and Mike Brown together, led the divestment of BAE Systems Applied Intelligence’s commercial cybersecurity arm, to form Talion.

Today at Talion, he combines that operational rigor with a modern, transparent, and collaborative approach — ensuring every client gains the clarity, agility, and resilience needed to thrive against evolving threats.

“I’m proud of the robust service we built at BAE Systems, coupled with the agility we now have to evolve and improve it.”
