Digital Forensics | Davin Teo | TEDxHongKongSalon– YouTube. Watch this video and think about how the career of digital forensics investigators relate to the social sciences. Write a journal entry describing what you think about the speaker’s pathway to his career.
Davin Teo’s professional journey into digital forensics was never linear. He started out as an accountant and got ‘put in to’ the field. He had dabbled a bit into IT which lead him down the path of digital forensics and working with the first national digital forensics firm in Australia. His story is similar to the stories of other professionals I have met during my time in the Cybersecurity Accelerator Program at the Washington Center. People with outside experiences, come into tech and contribute to it with a unique perspective and find their passions within it. This also shows that even without formal education within tech, with an open mind to learning, experiences and trying on your own, it is a place where anyone can find something that they love and contribute to it. Whether technical or non-technical, technology, and by extension cybersecurity, is being greatly adapted in all aspects of our lives today, so your background in any other field should not be a obstacle but a foundation that you can build upon.
