The SABSA Founders Bursary Announces First Award Recipients

In early May, The SABSA Founders Bursary called for people in the early stages of their information security careers to apply for one of our awards to assist them in enhancing their careers through training and networking opportunities and to assist the industry in helping us to drive better gender diversity.

We received many excellent applications, and the selection process was competitive.

The SABSA Founders Bursary Committee are pleased and excited to announce the 2022 Bursary Recipients.

  • Veda Mandavkar, Ireland – COSAC 2022
  • Anthonia Evbuomwa, Ireland – SABSA Training Course
  • Ghariba Bourhidane, Belgium – COSAC 2022
  • Clara Grillet, Belgium – SABSA Training Course

We are looking forward to welcoming Veda and Ghariba at COSAC 2022 in October in person; and Clara and Anthonia at their chosen SABSA Courses over the coming year.

The committee has been heartened by the financial support we have received from donors over the past few months and pass on our thanks. We will now focus our fund raising to ensure we can offer a similar suite of awards in 2023!

Thank you to all donors and to all applicants. Your support of this information security inititiative is greatly appreciated.
