Kaya Bos
SOC Analyst
Summary
I thrive on challenges and continuous development, believing that personal growth is vital in any role. Staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends, technologies and juicy breaches is both enjoyable and essential to me. Witnessing the positive impact my work has on clients and their posture is my true motivation. In addition to my professional endeavours, I hold a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, though my true allegiance lies with the blue team. I look forward to contributing my skills, enthusiasm, and commitment to a dynamic organisation, making a meaningful difference while continuing to grow personally and professionally.
