About

I'm a highly motivated and diligent Cyber Security Analyst with a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology (Networking and Cybersecurity) from the University of South Australia. I have gained invaluable hands-on experience through my internship with Digital Resilience that concluded at the end of June 2023 and have continued my role as a full time staff member. In addition, I hold a certificate IV in Cyber Security from TAFE SA, which has provided me with a solid foundation in the field. After spending twelve months shadowing the team at Digital Resilience in 2022 I engaged in an internship, further enhancing my skills and knowledge and led to a full time position with the company where i continue to develop and grow my skills. I have a background in the retail sector, which has honed my customer service and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about governance, risk management, and compliance, and am eager to apply my expertise across different sectors. As a professional, I am committed to continuous learning and growth, and am always looking for opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. Paul Dewsnap states "Overall, Kao is a highly skilled and dedicated Cyber Security Analyst with a solid academic and practical background.
