MaryAnn Nwagor #HerCyberStory

A skills match made in Heaven! Meet the spectacular MaryAnn Nwagor, who is complimenting her front-end web development skills with DevSecOps and web application security knowledge. #CyberSafeGotTalent

MaryAnn is a top talent on the CyberGirls Fellowship, but that didn’t come easy for her. She has had to combine working to fend for herself while learning cybersecurity in an intensive training program and expanding on her web development skills. Managing her time was a prevalent challenge she faced. However, she recounts how the soft skills training provided by CyberSafe Foundation early on in the CyberGirls Fellowship, meant she had the knowledge and was able to put her time management skills to practice to better manage these different facets of her life. Alongside time management, she also gained other important soft skills like decision-making, leadership, critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, online and offline networking, etc.

Owing to our partnership with SafeStack, Maryann has grown her technical knowledge to include Secure SDLC and CI/CD pipeline, Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA), Software Composition Analysis, Static Application Security Testing, Dynamic Application Security Testing, IAST and Runtime Protection, Container Security, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security, Docker, and Kubernetes Security, Vulnerability Management, etc.

She feels very privileged to have gained a practical understanding of how to perform mobile forensics on android and threat modelling. Using tools/frameworks like Burp suite, Mobsf, Snyk, Terrascan, SonarQube, are right up her alley.
