What is so interesting about Cyber Security?
Richard Clarke, former Special Advisor to President Bush on cybersecurity, highlighted the importance of prioritizing IT security. In the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the Australian Cyber Security Centre reported 67,500 cybercrime incidents with losses exceeding $33 billion, marking an increase from the prior year. It's worth noting these figures only represent reported incidents. The persistent nature of cyber threats underscores the vital role of cybersecurity professionals. I am equipped, through my training, with the technical and managerial expertise to effectively address cybersecurity challenges.

When talking about how technology impacts human life, Bill Gates once said:
This is something that I have worked to achieve, by working to integrate technology into the education environment as seemlessly as possible. I currently work part-time as an IT Consultant for a large IT Support and Software Development company. In this role I have worked closely with a range of large schools for the New South Wales Department of Education. This has given me a range of skills including:
- Working with upper management to manage large-scale IT infrastructure
- Working with people from a large range of backgrounds regarding their IT literacy
- Working with IT hardware and software management and development.
