The Young Professionals Podcast (TYPP), proudly brought to you by ADAPT Careers (https://adaptcareers.com.au) and co-hosted by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant (Sarge).
Today we chat with Mike Monnik, Chief Technology Officer at DroneSec (https://dronesec.com), a leading consultant firm in the drone threat intelligence as a service industry, committed to ensuring optimal physical, digital and airspace security to drones.
Mike started hacking as a hobby when he was a teenager and soon became interested in using his skills for the greater good, completing a Bachelor of IT Security & Networking at Deakin University (https://www.deakin.edu.au/course/bachelor-cyber-security).
During his studies and after graduating, Mike has worked at the Australian Department of Defence (https://www1.defence.gov.au), BAE Systems (https://www.baesystems.com/en/home) where he tried his hand at Penetration Testing, Privasec (https://privasec.com) as a managing consultant running Red Teaming operations and now with DroneSec, a company he founded that has since been acquired.
