What is the Geek mentorship programme?

"The Geek Mentorship program was honestly such a game-changer in my final year. Having a mentor who’s been through it all made a huge difference, it wasn’t just about career advice but also about figuring out how to navigate the real-world work environment.

The banking sector is right to be worried about AI-powered cyberattacks – AI can now find vulnerabilities, breach systems, and move through networks at a speed that keeps security teams up at night. But that’s only part of what we should be concerned about.
