I just spotted myself (Check the slides and look out for the one with the "Incident Response (SOC Tier 1)" heading. I'm on the first row, second person from the Left.) in our #CyberGirls yearbook, and it feels so surreal!! As they say, everything with a beginning has an end, but not Cybersecurity – unless you choose to quit. To those who are just starting their journey in Cybersecurity, I want to encourage you to hold on and keep learning. The road will come with its challenges, but the journey is worth every effort. Your growth and success in this field are limitless.
