    Hello Everyone,

    I am a C.Eng and been in IT for over 20 years, 15 of them as either a CTO or CIO (as I write this, I realise just how old I sound :-) ).

    For the last few years, I have been working as an independent consultant, fixing all sorts of technology related issues (which often relate to people, rather than tech) and carrying out IT Assessments/Due Diligence on behalf of a small group of Private Equity and Venture Capital clients. As a result, I come into contact with a lot of Cyber Security challenges, ranging from "Help, I think I have been hacked" through to "do I need a security policy for that?", and quite a lot in between. So, I am thinking that this group might be a very helpful group to get insight, help and contacts from ... and, of course, if I can help anyone then please let me know.

    All the best

    Pete

    Hi there,


    I just started working as a systems engineer and looking for a career path in cyber security. I have no knowledge of this field so I'm quite eagerly looking forward to the discussions that could help me move forward with this.

    Hi Everyone,


    I am Hridita, a second year Engineer at the University of Cambridge.


    I always had an interest in physics, and over time, that led me into engineering. Cyber Security was never within my radar until when I did an online course on The Forage on ANZ Cyber Security, which I really enjoyed. Since then, I started to looking for opportunities and internships to explore this field more and consider it as a career option.


    I hope to have fruitful conversations with the fellow engineers in this community.

    Hi, I operate a website that helps students make sense of college choices. This involves writing about Cyber Security and Information Assurance degrees, for example. You can see an example article here: 

    https://successfulstudent.org/best-online-master-of-information-assurance-and-cyber-security-degrees/


    I'd like to get feedback about which college(s) members here would most recommend for pursuing Cyber Security and/or Information Assurance degrees? Undergraduate and Graduate advice appreciated. The website is geared towards helping future students.  


    Thanks, 


    Jake Akins

    I'm Rob, an OT cyber security consultant in the oil and gas industry. I mainly look after security for industrial control systems.


    My background before this was programming, consulting, project and programme management. I accidently fell into OT security about 6 years ago and recently joined the IET.


    Looking forward to meeting you all.

    Hello All,


    I m ex Military with experience in encryption and the management of such assets, etc. Post Military I worked within Central Government providing consultancy advice against infosec policy, encryption standards and methods as well as advising on suitable encryption products. That was a good few years ago and now I am an independent consultant as well as a reseller for iStorage. This area I still find of great interest.

    Hello everyone it is a pleasure to be in this community. I noticed the last blog post was since 2018 and thought I would reach out so that I can offer to volunteer to help keep content up to date. I hope someone can point me to the person I would need to talk to.
