Blessing Mufaro Kashava
Blessing is a cybersecurity consultant by day and a community-builder by night. As a recent Information Security graduate, Blessing now works with BDO Zimbabwe, navigating the complex world of cybersecurity risks as a penetration tester. A passionate advocate for all things cyber, Blessing is the founder of the Evolve Cybersecurity Club, where students transform from curious learners to security-savvy professionals.
When not dissecting vulnerabilities, you can find Blessing volunteering at BSides conferences, picking locks (in Capture the Flag games, of course), or playing RPGs to save virtual worlds. A serial volunteer and two-time Black Hat Asia & USA 2024 student scholarship recipient, Blessing is always on a quest for new knowledge, community connections, and the next sitcom to binge-watch.
Session
From volunteering at BSides Cape Town to being sponsored to attend Black Hat Asia, I’ll share my unexpected journey and the power of community involvement in shaping my career in cybersecurity. Through this talk, I aim to inspire students to take that first step into getting involved with the cybersecurity community.
