Read the full video transcript
My name is Brittney Barber and I am Customer Success Team Lead at CSIS. I came to the industry while I was working in the mines in Western Australia. Actually, I saw an ad saying that, you know, anyone can learn how to be a cybersecurity hacker. And I just became really interested. And since then, I didn't become a hacker. But I did decide to work with people and communicate the importance of cybersecurity and translate cybersecurity lingo to the world at large. The way that I like to help customers and support customers, it's always built on the fundamental understanding of how do we communicate with each other. I think there needs to be a level of trust before trust. Of course, we need to get to know each other before we can experience that together. But if I can speak your language and you can speak my language, then we can start to look after each other. If the customer is able to communicate what they need, what they don't understand, what's the challenge then? I'm able to understand and direct them to the solutions that they need, or communicate the misunderstandings that might be had. But sometimes it's difficult. Maybe the customer doesn't know what they're missing. So I need to ask the right questions to get the answers that we're looking for. What matters most in my role is the ability to feel at ease. In CSIS terms, we say that we can rest assured. I think it is really satisfying when you're speaking with a customer or even internally, and you're speaking with people in a relaxed calm. I know what's going on. I know what my next steps are, or even to go as far as I don't know what the next steps are, but I know what to do next, or I know what to think about next. So being able to facilitate that kind of conversation is really important. A proud moment is that I recently got my Security Plus. I think when I first started in the cybersecurity journey, not being a very IT technical background kind of person, not into computers so much, that seemed like a really far-fetched goal, but it's actually really achievable. And I think it's actually really interesting to understand the best practices and to know, you know, what's really important. How do we stay secure? What should we be doing? What should we be thinking about? I would love to speak to the people that are joining cybersecurity, or you've just been placed in it and it can feel really overwhelming. And maybe there's a big technical gap. I just want you to push down all of those negative thoughts and just remain curious and not feel intimidated, but to let that intimidation maybe create a fire underneath you and nothing can really stop you from where you want to go. As long as you know how to channel that energy into the right places.

Meet our talented employees

Søren Bjerregaard Vrist

What I like about my job: I enjoy several aspects of my job. All the technical stuff, where I get to do all the fun and exciting things. I can influence my own job and the direction I think my area should take. I also really appreciate the team and the colleagues. It’s like being part of a family. Those two things make a perfect job for me. I was elected Employee Representative in our Board of Directors and that links well to all the other things I do. I dive into technical details, and I the technical area. At the same time, I am involved in the strategic direction for the whole company.

How I came here: I started in 2011 because two of my friends from university who worked here, asked me to join. So, I joined right after I graduated as M.Sc. in Computer Science. Back then there was around 20 employees in CSIS. A lot of things were happening, and it was a lot of fun. I was part of starting up many of the things we are working with today. I had many different roles in the company. I left for a couple of years to get some experience outside CSIS. But I missed all my colleagues and my job and returned. A lot of great things had happened in the company, and I never regretted returning.

More about me: I am divorced and live with my two kids in Slangerup. I bike a lot, and commute to and from work by bike. I like doing outdoor things. I recently bought a lot of trees, which I saw up and use as firewood. I also have a geeky interest in beers, which I like to read about, taste and evaluate. I no longer brew it myself. In my private life I also see many of my work colleagues.

What makes me excited to go to work every morning? I think the most important thing for me is self-improvement. I get the possibility to improve myself and I learn new things every day. I can contribute to improving our systems and my feedback is listened to and used. I have a great team, and I get excellent feedback on my code.

How I came here: It was just luck that I got this job. I was looking for job advertisements in all of Denmark. I was looking for companies that were trying to implement improvements in their products. That was my biggest goal, and I found that with CSIS. I got the impression that CSIS knew what they were looking for in the interview and that really motivated me. When I was offered the job, I moved from the north of Jutland to Copenhagen.

More about me: It has been very interesting for me to come to Denmark from Ukraine. The mentality in Denmark is very different, and people’s life priorities are quite different. That gives you inspiration and ideas on how to be more productive and maybe even happier, because you see differences and you can choose what you want to implement in your own life. I recently got married and I spend most of my free time with my wife. We like to walk and when the weather is good, we often take walking trips, preferably to the ocean. I am learning Danish and trying to improve myself.

Loredana Cosma

What I like about my job: I enjoy the dynamic nature of cyber security - everyday can bring a new challenge to solve. Leading our close knit team through them keeps the job interesting and allows me to continually learn as well.
It is also rewarding to know that what we do helps safeguard our clients' assets and operations from cyber threats.

How I came here: I pursued a master’s degree in cyber security at Aalborg University, driven by a passion for the field. To gain practical experience, one of my professors recommended applying to CSIS, an organization with ties to the University. I started as a part-time Student Security Analyst during my studies and transitioned to a full-time position once I graduated.

More about me: My hobbies range from learning new languages and baking cakes to more adventurous activities like clay shooting and hiking. I make it a priority that every year I get to explore new places, but also travel to my home country, Romania. A fun fact about me is that I am a dog person who owns a cat.
