The Singapore Polytechnic SkillsFuture Work-Study Programme gave Ms Firzanah Idrus the opportunity to enter the dynamic field of cybersecurity.
It was a simple router that sparked Ms Firzanah Idrus’ interest in cybersecurity and led her to her chosen career in the field, even though her academic background was in electronics rather than information technology.
In August 2019, Ms Firzanah enrolled in the Work-Study Programme at Singapore Polytechnic. Through the programme, she was hired by Thermo Fisher Scientific, where she is currently a cybersecurity analyst after graduating from the WSP in July 2020. Reflecting on her experience, Ms Firzanah said: “As a newcomer to the world of IT and cybersecurity, the team, especially my mentor, provided me with valuable resources and references to deepen my understanding of the field. My mentor not only helped me bridge the gap between theory and practice in my day-to-day work, but also offered guidance on career progression and shared insights on global cybersecurity issues.
According to Ms Firzanah, the most enjoyable aspect of her job is conducting investigative analysis, as she enjoys the thrill of identifying and addressing the root cause of a cybersecurity issue.
