Edwin Ochieng Abok
I am a dynamic, technical-oriented cybersecurity enthusiast specialized in various forms of IT and media. With the advancement in technology, many individuals, companies and major entities are digitizing their data. The data include, transactions, records, and many more. These information is not safe as many threat actors may take advantage. Therefore, the need to have cyber defenders is rising rapidly. I am among the many defenders, ready to take up the challenge in ensuring online safety for everyone.
