(Sharecast News) - Cyber security company NCC Group said it had appointed a new chief executive and lifted revenue guidance for the second half of the year.

NCC said Mike Maddison would take over at the helm, replacing Adam Palser. The board added that second-half revenue would be "substantially higher" than both 2021 and the first six months of the year, driven by acquisitions and accelerating sales growth from its assurance unit.

Full year Revenue and adjusted EBIT were anticipated to be in line with management expectations.
