What is included in the mentorship program?
How do we begin the mentorship journey?
You will meet with me once a week for one month to work together on your professional journey; we will take baby (small) steps to learn more about your current challenges in each area. The meetings are strategically timed to discuss the key steps to work offline. Typically, we may meet anywhere between 2-3 meetings per step. Regardless of how many steps you choose, overall engagement is one month.
How much does it cost?
The simple answer: ” Your time and commitment.”
I am currently developing this program, which means if you become part of this beta, you are compensating me with your time, and time is money. Your feedback will help in shaping this for future generations. I intend to keep this in beta as long as I can.

Why me?
I am a security professional, and I am passionate about spreading awareness of security issues related to OT (operational technology), ICS (industrial control systems), and IoT (Internet of Things). Along with my expertise in these areas, I also believe in giving back to the community by actively participating in outreach programs and speaking at various events and venues. Through my speaking engagements, I hope to educate people on the importance of security in these critical areas and empower them to protect themselves and their organizations.
