There's a version of a cybersecurity career where you're exceptionally good at your job - and almost invisible to the people who could grow it.

Last weekend, Andra Zaharia, our Head of Marketing & Community, spoke to 20 young women at the Girls in Cyber Bootcamp about exactly *that gap*, and how to close it.

The topic? Value engineering: how to turn your technical expertize into business outcomes that grow your career.

Why? Because technical skill and business impact are not the same thing. Most of us are trained in one and left to figure out the other on our own.

What bridges them?

✔️ Learning to ask "what problem are we actually solving?" - before building, before presenting, before proposing anything. It sounds obvious. Almost no one does it consistently.
✔️ Understanding that in cybersecurity, success is silent. A breach that didn't happen doesn't celebrate itself. You have to learn to translate invisible outcomes into language that the business can feel: time saved, risk reduced, money protected.
✔️ And knowing that how you show up - with honesty, generosity, and a real point of view - builds the kind of trust that opens doors no certification ever will.

To everyone at @cyberedu_ro #UNbreakableRomania 2026: thank you for building a community where new voices get a real seat at the table!

The next generation of security professionals is in good hands. 🔐

Received a heads-up that my GovTech Injection badge is expiring soon - a good reminder to share this before it does!

This badge was issued for successfully identifying an Injection vulnerability in a Singapore Government bug bounty program. Shoutout to @govtechsg GovTech Singapore for going the extra mile with a custom badge collection for contributors - it's a thoughtful gesture that makes the recognition feel more personal than just an email acknowledgement. 😊

Glad to have contributed to securing Singapore's digital infrastructure, even in a small way. 💪
