Bloor Alumni

Before passing away in 2024, Fran Howarth specialised in the field of security, primarily information security, but with a keen interest in physical security and how the two are converging. Fran’s other main areas of interest were new delivery models, such as cloud computing, information governance, web, network and application security, identity and access management, and encryption.

Fran focused on the business needs for security technologies, looking at the benefits they gain from their use and how organisations can defend themselves against the threats that they face in an ever-changing landscape.

For more than 20 years, Fran has worked in an advisory capacity as an analyst, consultant and writer. She wrote regularly for a number of publications, including Silicon, Computer Weekly, Computer Reseller News, IT-Analysis and Computing Magazine. Fran was also a regular contributor to Security Management Practices of the Faulkner Information Services division of InfoToday.
