Meet Mayur Kriplani, Cyber Security Product Specialist and former intern of our Summer Vacation Program. 🛡️💻 💠"I started my journey at Telstra in the Summer Vacation Program as an information and cyber security intern. One of my most memorable experiences was working in Telstra Labs and it was an eye-opening experience. The three months I spent there were amazing, as I got to learn about what Telstra is doing in cyber security, V2X autonomous cars, drone technology, virtual reality and augmented reality, humanoids and machine learning. At the end of the Summer Vacation Program, I was lucky enough to be offered a place in the Telstra Graduate Program, which started in early 2020."
