These incidents really caught my attention and inspired me to do something meaningful in this field.<\/p><p>I was fortunate to have a few seniors in college who were already exploring the cybersecurity domain. Their guidance and encouragement influenced me greatly, and I decided to start learning more about the field. As I continued studying, I gained foundational knowledge and eventually pursued the <a href=\"https:\/\/test1.eccouncil.org\/train-certify\/certified-ethical-hacker-ceh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification<\/a>.<\/p><p>I have completed my MS in Computer Science, specializing in Autonomous Systems, from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. I am also a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certified by ISACA. Currently, I work as an Information Security Engineer at K15t GmbH in Germany. During my Master&#8217;s program, I also worked at Robert Bosch GmbH, although that role was not related to cybersecurity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-30bb640 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"30bb640\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a2d4bf8\" data-id=\"a2d4bf8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5c7e04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b5c7e04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"79\" height=\"59\" src=\"https:\/\/test1.eccouncil.org\/cybersecurity-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bxs-quote-alt-left.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-78602\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-fe02c9d\" data-id=\"fe02c9d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a87ea0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a87ea0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Earning the CEH helped me land my first job in the cybersecurity domain at NRI Fintech (Nomura Research Institute) as a Security Analyst.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a229f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a229f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I worked in the <a href=\"https:\/\/test1.eccouncil.org\/train-certify\/certified-soc-analyst-csa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Security Operations Center (SOC)<\/a> as an L1 Analyst and was also involved in penetration testing, making me a part of the purple team.<\/p><p>Later, I transitioned to EdgeVerve Systems, where I took on the role of an Application Security Engineer.
