What would not have been possible without CEH?
CEH gave me the foundation I need. It was the first milestone that led me to get a Doctorate in Cybersecurity after 2 master’s degrees! Being a CEI helped me to learn also from students, which made me better.
How did CEH contribute to your career?
CEH was my first security certificate. It made me aware of the future and opened my eyes, which led me to go all the way to my doctorate.
During the pandemic, did your role become more challenging? If so, how?
CEH teaches the main foundations of the current cybersecurity landscape. It demonstrates how hackers work, think, and attack, which helps me think like them and strengthen my defense capabilities.
