My commitment to cybersecurity extends to volunteering as a lecturer for Czechitas, where I play a vital role in raising cybersecurity awareness. Furthermore, I am a vetted expert within global expert groups, such as the United Nations Development Programme's Roster and EU CyberNet, showcasing my exceptional expertise and dedication to advancing cybersecurity on a global scale. I always seek new consulting opportunities. Looking forward to meeting you.
