NCC Group is once again supporting Channel 4's Celebrity Hunted, continuing a long-standing partnership that began in 2015.
For more than a decade, NCC Group's cyber security, intelligence and investigative specialists have worked alongside the programme, helping to bring the show's Hunter HQ operations to life. Over the years, colleagues from across the business have contributed expertise in areas including open-source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and cyber-enabled tracking techniques.
The latest series sees a new group of celebrities attempt to evade capture while a team of expert hunters use investigative methods and intelligence-gathering techniques to track their movements across the UK. This celebrity edition is made in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, bringing the programme’s high-stakes entertainment format together with support for a widely recognised fundraising campaign.
NCC Group's involvement reflects the real-world skills used every day by the company's consultants, threat intelligence specialists and investigators to help organisations understand and manage security risks in an increasingly connected world.
Doug Ipperciel, Associate Director, Strategic Threat Intelligence at NCC Group, said:
"We're incredibly proud to be supporting Celebrity Hunted once again and to have been part of the programme since 2015. The show offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate how intelligence gathering, digital investigations and open-source research techniques can be used to build a picture of an individual's activities and movements.
"While Celebrity Hunted is designed as entertainment, many of the investigative principles showcased on the programme reflect the same analytical mindset and intelligence-led approach our experts use every day to help organisations understand threats, assess risk and strengthen their security posture.
"It's also a fantastic opportunity to showcase the breadth of talent across NCC Group and inspire interest in the world of cyber security and intelligence."
As the latest celebrity fugitives attempt to stay off the radar, viewers can once again expect to see NCC Group expertise helping power the hunt from behind the scenes
