Transitioning Into Cybersecurity - Looking for Entry-Level Opportunities to Grow

Leonie — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:23:46 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I’m Leonie D'Souza and am currently exploring opportunities to transition into cybersecurity, with a particular interest in Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Risk Management, and related non-technical areas.

I hold a Master’s in Information Technology (Networking & Cybersecurity), completed in 2020 in Australia, and I bring nearly 4 years of experience as a Junior IT Project Manager in the banking sector. My background has given me exposure to regulated environments, project coordination, and risk-aware IT delivery.

While I’m not pursuing a highly technical path, I’m deeply interested in contributing through risk, compliance, and governance-focused roles. I’m currently preparing for the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) to strengthen my understanding of core cybersecurity principles.

I’m seeking an entry-level opportunity where I can grow through hands-on learning, mentorship, and meaningful contribution to a security or risk team.

If you're open to connecting, mentoring, or know of relevant opportunities, I’d greatly appreciate your support.

Thanks, and best of luck to everyone on their professional journey!

Warm regards,
Leonie D'Souza,
