Mr Bryan Koh developed a keen interest in cyber security at a young age. He acquired knowledge about the field by watching online videos about hacking and how these tools can be used to counteract cybercrime.
Bryan found that watching online videos was not enough to satiate his curiosity. With his sights set on the IT field, Mr Koh decided to apply for the Diploma in Infocomm Security Management at Republic Polytechnic through the Early Admissions Exercise (EAE).
In 2019, Bryan was awarded the RP Scholarship which inspired him to work even harder. Learning from his classes and interacting with various people in school also prepared Bryan for his overseas internship in Bangkok.
Bryan says his time at RP equipped him with the skills he needed for the internship, namely general IT knowledge, an understanding of IT security concepts, IT security risks and compliances, practical skills for offensive and defensive security, programming skills and more.
Bryan graduated with his diploma this month and is set to be enlisted for National Service later this year. While waiting, he is currently studying for a security certification.
