Testimonial
“After completing the Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) stream of the Hackcelerator mentorship, I was slightly nervous to jump into the complex world of cyber security. Self-doubt, anxiety, excitement, and curiosity, so many thoughts ran through my mind as I imagined what working in GRC might be like.
However, after starting the Sekuro Graduate Program in 2022, many of these thoughts subsided. The transition from University to full-time work has been fun and rewarding. I’ve been able to work with passionate and driven individuals who have helped create a great learning environment.
At Sekuro, I’ve made friends, been mentored by experts, and become more confident, all whilst learning how to adapt to the quickly evolving world of cyber security.” – Conrad Byrnes-Krickl, Associate Analyst
