Exciting News: Secured My First Internship in Cybersecurity!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news—I’ve officially secured my first internship! Thanks to the invaluable advice from the wonderful members of the r/cybersecurity community, my journey into the world of cybersecurity has taken a significant leap forward.
