Gajabaar, An InfoSecurity Mentorship – Design To Deployment
In this talk, we discuss tips, tricks, joys and pitfalls
of running an infosecurity mentorship program in Nepal. We
draw these observations, lessons and recommendations from our
own experience running Gajabaar – a three year old infosecurity
mentorship program catered exclusively to the Nepali community
of cybersecurity curious to enthusiasts. We believe this talk will
be useful to the candidates looking for a mentorship as well
as to the cybersecurity companies and organizations looking to
establish their own mentorship programs or to hire qualified
candidates to cybersecurity positions within their organizations.
