Welcome to Cyber House, our multi-award-winning Michelin-star restaurant for careers.

Tonight, we’re not plating foie gras or truffle risotto. We’re serving live résumés, roasted to perfection. On the menu is a curated degustation of CVs, each grilled with care, seasoned with brutal honesty, and finished with actionable feedback.
Unlike traditional restaurants, we don’t believe in rare or undercooked. Every résumé here is served well done, whether it’s polished to perfection or seared with some tough love.

Pull up a seat. Bring your appetite for critique. This is career feedback, chef’s table style.

Cybersecurity offers countless career paths, but choosing the right one can be daunting. This session brings together some of Australia’s top practitioners to share their journeys and insights.

In the blue corner, Jasmina Rosa Zito (Canva), with a background in threat intelligence and now leading a red team, alongside Zoran Iliev (CBIT Digital Forensics Services – CDFS), an expert in digital forensics.

Together they will discuss why they chose their paths, what drives them, and the lessons they have learned. Expect honest perspectives and practical advice to help you navigate your own career choices between red and blue.
