Building Trust in a Changing Cyber World
Cybersecurity came as a cherry on top. As we embraced digitalization, security became one of the most important aspects.

“There is an old saying,”Milerecallswithasmile,“‘First jump, then say hop.’Hethinksbeinggoodincybersecurity isnotjustabouttechnicalskills;it’samindset,almostlike DNA.It’saboutlivingwithwhatwenowcall‘zerotrust.’
Thisbalanceofcuriosityandcautionbecameadefining threadinhislife.Afterfinishinghighschool,heenrolledat theFacultyofElectricalEngineering.Thetimingwas fortunate.Theinternetwasjustemerging,fragileyetfullof potential.Formany,itwasanovelty.ForMile,itwaslove atfirstsight.
