Bora Cylwa, Cybersecurity Professional

About

As a hardworking and goal-oriented individual, I bring a unique blend of experience, determination and enthusiasm to the world of cybersecurity. After dedicating over five years of experience to the tech industry as a Scrum Master, my experience helped me gain a deep understanding of the necessary need for cybersecurity professionals. My passion for cybersecurity led me to graduate from Lighthouse Labs' Cybersecurity Immersive Bootcamp, where I acquired comprehensive knowledge of this dynamic field and the skills and tools needed to combat cyber crime. As I enter the workforce as a cyber security professional, I am enthusiastic to leverage my skills and experience and contribute to your company’s growth and improving the security's posture.
