Introductions

Hello everyone! :) I'm Jude, a Cyber Security student currently studying for a degree apprenticeship in the defence sector. I'm just about to enter my fourth year, and Immersive has been incredibly helpful throughout. I'm hugely passionate about Cyber, and I'm always looking for opportunities in the industry :D

I got into Cyber Security when I was 14, and joined a national cyber security competition for 14-18 year olds called Cyber Discovery, run by CyberFirst, SANS Institute and the UK Government. Managed to reach the final stage three years in a row, where I took part in the face-to-face final, and later studying for and passing two GIAC qualifications when I was 17-18 years old (the GCFE and GCIH). Earlier this year I took part in the Cyber Team UK competition, reaching the final.

My areas of interests in Cyber Security are Threat Intelligence, Reverse Engineering, Malware Analysis and Digital Forensics. Actually, my dissertation was on developing a tool to detect embedded malware in images :D

In my spare time... oh man, I have FAR too many hobbies. I do a self-defence system called Krav Maga, I love to draw, and I'm also a Warhammer 40K lore fan, so I read a lot of that (get me started on Warhammer at your peril).

Once again, it's so lovely to meet all of you 😄
