• Deciding the right cybersecurity domain in your career
• How to prepare for that career path
• What to expect after landing a technical role

Learn from our invited experts' cybersecurity journey and immerse yourself in hands-on workshops to experience a day in the life of each profession!

Odd Months (i.e., January, March, May, July, September, November), we will be organising Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) sessions where you can engage with top experts to learn the in’s and out’s of various cybersecurity domains. Get your burning questions answered and delve deep into the realities of various cybersecurity roles.

Even Months (i.e., February, April, June, August, October, December), we will be conducting A-Day-in-the-Life-of (ADL) workshops where you can experience first-hand working in specific cybersecurity domains: their pro’s and con’s, what daily tasks entail and overall challenges. Evaluate if a career in various cybersecurity fields relates to your skills and aspirations.

Join our OT Security ADL session on 21 October 2024, 6.45pm-10pm! To ensure a focused and interactive session, the workshop is capped at 30 participants.

Donavan Cheah — Senior Cybersecurity Consultant, Thales
Donavan is a Physics graduate turned into cybersecurity consultant with eight years of experience in technical domains (offensive security), architectural domains (threat modelling, security architecture) and business domains (governance, risk and compliance).

He has contributed to the open-source cybersecurity community, such as his series of deliberately vulnerable machines on Vulnhub from 2018 to 2021. He has previously conducted a talk at Division 0 on box-building and has conducted talks and moderated panels regionally as well. He has also conducted career talks to inspire younger students at both the middle school and university levels to consider cybersecurity as a meaningful career option.

In Thales, he has also led a team to create a fully-functional, made in Singapore cybersecurity gamification experience, "Defend the Breach" (DTB), in a short span of three months, where players role-play CISO roles to make difficult cybersecurity decisions, taking into account both cyber and non-cyber factors such as the overall health of the business, manpower and operational requirements.

Recently, Donavan was also appointed a member of the advisory board at VULNCON 2024 to provide technical thought leadership. He also moderated a panel with fellow CISO/VP-level cybersecurity executives on the future of cybersecurity. His views on cybersecurity have also been quoted in the book "The Pentester Blueprint" written by Phillip L. Wylie and Kim Crawley, as well as his course reviews being quoted by Offensive Security. He also contributes to the ISC2's Unified Body of Knowledge (UBK) project as a member of the Technical Advisory Panel Workshop. Additionally, he has also written articles on ISACA on topics such as post-quantum cryptography.

Donavan also possesses multiple certifications ranging from Offensive Security certifications (OSCE3, OSCP), ISC2 (CISSP), ISACA (CRISC) and is currently pursuing his Masters in Cybersecurity at Georgia Tech (OMSCY).
