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

  • Hiya! I'm Naomi, a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer in the Content team at Immersive. I've been here for about 3 years, working in a few different areas during that time (AppSec, Reverse Engineering and Exploit Development in Offensive, and now Team Sim). I love a good challenge and try to take part in CTFs when I can, as well as having the opportunity to develop challenge content here at Immersive!

  • 👋 I'm Nye, one of the Lead Cybersecurity Engineers here at Immersive. I've been with Immersive for just over 3 years and my primary focus has been creating offensive security related challenges. In a previous life, I've dabbled in Red Teaming, penetration testing, but also digital forensics! 💜

    Hi everyone. I'm echoing Kieran's sentiment that we’re so excited to welcome and get to know our community members! 

    I’m Tilly, the Lead Program Manager for the Immersive Labs community, which I'm very much looking forward to growing with all of our members 🤝

    I’ve been an employee at Immersive for two years and prior to this I project managed our Cyber Resilience Team customer projects, working particularly closely with Cyber Crisis Simulations. We have a top-class team of Cyber Resilience Advisors and I hope that some of you are lucky enough to work with them throughout your Immersive journey.

    In my spare time, I love to be outdoors - whether that’s running, gardening, busking with my band or exploring the countryside with my dog.

    Pleased to meet you! Drop a intro with a note about yourself in this Welcome Forum ⬇️
