Hey there!
I am immensely interested in the field of cybersecurity. What started as a mere hobby involving pentesting and exploiting vulnerabilities, very soon turned into a passion for developing secure and robust systems. For me, threat intelligence involving the collection and analysis of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) has been a bigger part of this defence strategy.
Apart from this, much of my motivation to pursue a career in cybersecurity comes from my interest in protecting the privacy of the common user. Post Snowden reveals, data privacy and information security have assumed proportional importance in the cyberspace. To tackle this and contribute to this goal, I want to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of security and cryptography.
I am currently pursuing a joint degree masters in Computer Science: Computer Systems Security between Universiteit van Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Watch this space for more :)
