Introductions

Welcome to our new Community, we are so happy that you have joined us and we'd love to get to know you all. Please introduce yourself in this thread by telling us a little bit about yourself and your experience with Immersive Labs and Cyber Security.

I'm Kieran, the Director of Community here at Immersive Labs and I'm responsible for fostering this community, and leading our Cyber Million program which aims to help 1 Million people into cybersecurity jobs over the next decade.

Prior to this I worked with the UK NCSC to design and deliver the inaugural program of CyberFirst events, a pioneering initiative aimed at inspiring and encouraging 14 - 18 year olds to consider careers in cybersecurity. I'm a member of the UK Cyber Security Council's Qualifications Careers Working Group and carried out extensive research into the UK's Cyber Security Skills Gap as part of my MSc in Cyber Security.

I live in South West England, where you can often find me running on the trails, or running after my 7 year old son.

I look forward to meeting you all

Kieran

    Hi! I'm Mateusz but I prefer Matt, I'm a first year studying cyber security and Digital Forensics at the University of the West of England. I'm relatively new to cyber security, so when my society introduced me to this platform it helped me develop my knowledge and understanding to a more technical depth than what I started with. I love taking part in CTF as I've noticed it helps me develop my knowledge in a much faster rate, as well as solidify what i already know. I can't wait to see how Immersive will continue to develop.

      Welcome Matt! It's great to connect with more members of the cybersecurity community here in the South West! Can I ask, what could Immersive be doing to better support the UWE Cyber Society?
