The Safer Internet Project

LEARN MORE

Cybersecurity training platforms are cool and all, but have you ever wanted to gain hands on experience by participating in guided penetration tests, vulnerability assessments and compliance audits on real business systems?

Well, you're in the right place, because that's exactly what we do!

Each weekday, we hold live sessions to showcase exactly how this work is done on actual business systems for our members. Can't make the live session time? No problems! We record each session for later viewing.

Over the 18+ years I have been working professionally in the I.T. industry, I have picked up skills that enable me to work quickly and efficiently on projects while providing a down to earth approach to technology, specifically within cyber security and automation practices.

With a vast range of experience across various technologies, industries, and business operations, I have had the pleasure of amassing a YouTube audience of over 60,000 followers, who watch my videos about the daily life of an IT professional, with a community built specifically to assist them on their endeavours into the IT industry.

My current role as the CEO of the Safer Internet Project allows me to see industry trends from a unique perspective, which I share with each of the members of TSIP during our 1 on 1 coaching sessions, and as far as a "job" is concerned, is everything I could have ever wished for, being able to help and assist the next generation of cybersecurity professionals through either consulting work or working for an organisation full time.

My vision is to transform the world around me by helping others find freedom, make an impact and leave a legacy. My mission is to become the go-to Technology Success Partner for small businesses and not-for-profits, lifting IT burdens off their shoulders by implementing high-impact solutions to supercharge their operations.

Working for myself has always been a passion and is something I do to this day with my own clients, primarily in the managed cybersecurity space. I also work full time for an organisation in Australia as a Senior Technical Support Engineer, with a focus on cloud systems and cybersecurity, which gives me a unique perspective when running pentesting sessions on TSIP, as well as during the home lab building workshops.

Dig into my vast experience and join in on the sessions each week!

My professional journey includes diverse roles in security operations, IT auditing and compliance, and ethical hacking. This background equips me with a unique perspective on integrating robust security solutions into business operations to enhance resilience and protect digital assets. I am passionate about staying ahead in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, constantly learning new technologies and methodologies to empower organizations to achieve their goals securely.

I hold a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University, where I earned the Capstone Excellence Award for my project on AI-driven cybersecurity governance. My certifications include ISACA CISM, CompTIA CASP+, CySA+, PenTest+, AWS Certified AI Practitioner, and others that reflect my commitment to excellence in cybersecurity management and operations.

Currently contributing as a Security Analyst for the Safer Internet Project, I focus on cybersecurity education and Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC). Through this role, I aim to foster awareness and provide actionable insights to strengthen internet safety globally. Let’s connect to collaborate on enhancing cybersecurity resilience!

Over the past 15 years of my working life, I've worked for international telco companies, as a translator for Governments and international technology companies, youth service NFP's, real estate companies and even in various hospitality roles here and there.

Now, focusing on communication between TSIP and clients is my main focus, along with running the TSIP Mental Health Workshops. With experience in tech, mental health, psychology and social work for young people, I'm well positioned to help members of TSIP where it matters most.

As the Director of High Energy Digital (HED), I help cybersecurity, tech, and PC hardware brands scale their presence with high-impact marketing strategies.

I've collaborated with The Safer Internet Project and Securitribe to craft campaigns that drive engagement.

But I don’t just market cybersecurity, I live it. As a part-time SOC Analyst, I actively work in threat detection, incident response, and system security, giving me real-world insight into the challenges security brands face.

At PCKumar, I combine my passion for PC hardware and marketing to optimize product positioning and create content that attracts millions of views per month. Whether it's building a cybersecurity brand, marketing cutting-edge tech, or securing systems, I thrive at the intersection of tech, security, and storytelling.
