As part of this launch, ICS is proud to welcome Peter Buckley, a highly respected leader in the cybersecurity and IT risk space, as the first appointee to the newly formed Advisory Board.  Mr. Buckley joins through IncrementOne, with his appointment effective as of July 7, 2025.

Peter brings more than 25 years of experience in technology and cybersecurity, including nearly two decades at HSBC Canada, where he held senior roles across Cyber Security, Information Security Risk, and Technology and Cyber Resilience teams. He served as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of HSBC Canada during a critical time for the bank, including the acquisition by RBC.

“Peter’s real-world experience in protecting complex financial systems and leading major security programs makes him an ideal voice at the table as we scale ICS and expand into post-quantum security,” said  Alan Guibord , CEO of Integrated Cyber Solutions and Chair of the new Advisory Board. “He understands both the technical depth and the strategic vision required to stay ahead in this industry.”

Over his career, Peter has advised boards, audit and risk committees, and executive teams, helping shape cyber risk programs across cloud, access management, application security, and third-party oversight. He’s also built and led specialized teams focused on proactive enterprise risk management and long-term resiliency.

The  Cyber Future Advisory Board  will provide guidance on evolving threats, emerging technologies, and ICS’s expansion into new solution areas. The goal is to bring together trusted voices in cybersecurity who can help ICS stay ahead of the curve—especially as AI becomes more mainstream and quantum technologies begin to reshape the risk landscape.
