Zafrin Malek Mithila
Hi, I’m Zafrin, an Information Security Operations Analyst at ALD Automotive Limited, where I’ve been working for the past 7 months. Before this, I spent 5 years as a telecom engineer for a major telecom operator and vendor in Bangladesh.
My interest in cybersecurity really took off during the pandemic as I read more about various cyber incidents, which led me to switch careers from telecom to cybersecurity. I earned my MSc in Cyber Defence and Information Assurance from Cranfield University in 2022, and since then, I’ve been growing my skills and knowledge in the cyber field.
These days, I’m focused on expanding my expertise in security and policy. I started researching the security concerns of voice assistants during my master’s thesis, and it’s a topic I’m passionate in. At this conference, I’ll be speaking on “Is your voice private? Security concerns with voice assistants,” exploring how secure our smart homes are, the privacy risks of IoT devices like voice assistants, and why user awareness is crucial.
I’m excited to share my journey and insights with you all.
