“I studied for a Bachelor’s Degree in Digital forensics and Information Security and a Master’s Degree in network forensics. It was during my work on the Bachelor’s Thesis that I encountered the manager of the Cyber ​​Security team at Capgemini. He recommended the IgnITe program and the combination of both projects and internal training caught my interest.“

How does a day as a Security Analyst look like at Capgemini?

I am currently working on a project in the automotive industry where I implement tools and processes so the customer can deliver safe vehicles and fulfil the associated laws and requirements. As technology advances, it´s important to remember that it’s not just computers that are vulnerable to attacks and risks. Enhanced security is important to protect users and companies from potential threats, considering society´s increased digitalization.

Is the life as a consultant as you’ve imagined when you became a student?

I did not have any specific expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised when I realized what advantages consulting life offers. The life of a consultant provides the opportunity to explore varied projects and roles for a recent graduate, which enables a broader experience and prevents you from getting stuck in a specific professional field.

What impact has the IgnITe program had on you and your career?

It gave me a solid foundation to work independently, and it presented challenges that contributed to a wider understanding of several domains. I have also gained a wider network of contacts in various work areas, not only within Cyber ​​Security. The IgnITe program will also assign a mentor who supports you with your professional and personal growth to reach your career goals.

This is something that I consider important in all phases of working life, but especially important at the beginning of the career.

Why would you recommend working at Capgemini?

Capgemini offers extensive opportunities with a breadth of career options that allow you to grow and develop internally.
