Tell us about your journey as a cybersecurity professional.
My journey in cybersecurity began during the first year of my engineering studies. At that time, there was a noticeable rise in cybercrime cases, and I came across news stories about people losing large sums of money due to online fraud. These incidents really caught my attention and inspired me to do something meaningful in this field.
I was fortunate to have a few seniors in college who were already exploring the cybersecurity domain. Their guidance and encouragement influenced me greatly, and I decided to start learning more about the field. As I continued studying, I gained foundational knowledge and eventually pursued the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification.
I have completed my MS in Computer Science, specializing in Autonomous Systems, from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. I am also a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certified by ISACA. Currently, I work as an Information Security Engineer at K15t GmbH in Germany. During my Master’s program, I also worked at Robert Bosch GmbH, although that role was not related to cybersecurity.
