Growth and cyber awareness are vital to a cybersecurity career
Dr. Iretioluwa Akerele earned her master’s in Information Security and Computer Forensics in 2013, and just two months after graduating, earned a position as a senior analyst at a Nigerian private professional service organization. Since then, her career has only grown.
While reflecting on her career path over the past decade, Dr. Akerele says, “I mean, in the last 10 years, I’ve done a lot. I have had the opportunity to work as a consultant for several organizations. I have supported more than 50 organizations to date, to align to best practice requirements like the ISO 27001 standard. I have also worked in the industry as an information security manager.”
