This Christmas, Infosecurity has invited some top industry names to each fill the role of guest editor for a day, and we are delighted to introduce Sophia McCall, who will be taking the reins today.
Sophia is a third year (placement) student currently studying BSc Cyber Security Management at Bournemouth University. She is an avid player of Cyber Security Challenge UK where she has qualified twice to represent Team UK in the European Cyber Security Challenge and has succeeded in their ethical hacking competitions. She was awarded Best Newcomer to Cyber Security last year and is an active conference speaker and panel member.
She is an advocate for inspiring more females to join the security industry and also hopes to inspire younger generations to choose security as their future career. She travels around the country to deliver talks and workshops to schools and is a part of the ambassadorial program for Cyber Security Challenge UK. She currently is in a Junior Security Consultant role where she is completing a pen testing placement, which is something she hopes she can do as a full-time job in the future.
