I joined a Cyber Security Club in October 2022. This was used to extend my knowledge of cybersecurity, a growing sector in the computing world. I hope to use this in the workplace to be wise on best practices.

"Teams will work together to find defects on specific websites against the clock with a chance to win ‘The Defectives University Challenge’ trophy for their university!"
