Bio:
Christian Christovich is a sophomore at UTSA and a devout Christian. He started at UTSA in the same position as many of you: eager to learn but frustrated by the lack of resources to learn from. Christian figured out the best ways to learn cybersecurity, put them into application, and was able to intern as a security analyst with CrowdStrike during the summer as a result of his effort, and God's grace. Now, Christian wants to share the things he learned and the resources he used to help other enthusiastic beginners; the ones that he was like not that long ago!
