About the speaker

Guest: Zaira Martinez Delgado - Cyber Security Analyst

Zaira traded the classroom for the world of cybersecurity, and she’s never looked back! Now working as an Information Security Analyst, she spends her days tackling security incidents, managing vulnerabilities, and keeping things running smoothly.

After eight years of teaching, Zaira decided it was time to geek out over tech full-time, and now she’s all about finding new ways to stay one step ahead of current threats.

When she’s not busy securing systems, she’s probably sipping coffee and diving into the latest cybersecurity trends—or explaining complex topics in ways that make sense (because, hey, teaching never really leaves you!)
