WITH SIMBIAT OZIOMA
Up close and personal with Simbiat, on
her life inside and outside cybersecurity
Your job?
My job entails threat intelligence, malware
analysis, vulnerability and risk
assessment and cybersecurity awareness training
to customers.
Feel good activities?
Hmmmm!!! Talking to people. I love when I am
able to talk to people. It eases of stress for me.
Basically, I feel good when I am able to express
myself.
Your life mantra?
There will be bad days. Make sure your bad days
do not take over the better
part of you. Never stop believing in your dreams!
Your inspiration?
The urge to make a difference. I love to stand out
and I want to be able to look back and tell myself
“I am proud of you”
Best part of your job?
If not in cybersecurity, where would you be?
Interacting! I don’t have to sit all day on my screen
talking to myself. I am able to interact with my
colleagues and share ideas and thoughts.
I honestly haven’t thought about where I would
have been if not in cybersecurity but well, I’ll
probably be in engineering (maybe) because I
really can’t picture myself in a different field.
Biggest dream in life?
My biggest dream is to impact lives. I want to be
able to inspire a lot of women. I mean! There is
nothing as refreshing as people looking up to
you.
